"y'all ain't gonna believe this"
is the way we start our tales
texans like to stretch th' trut'
(never mind th' small details)
y'all ain't gonna believe this
but y'all know what i jes' seen?
missy anne is on a bull!
th' one that's wild eyed and mean!!
missy anne won't take no guff
'specially since her husband died
she is boun' an' determined
she's gonna take a bull ride!!
(never mind that it's a fake
it's th' stuffed one at the fair
fer bein' an old lady
missy anne looks good up there!)
y'all ain't gonna believe this
i jes' heard th' strangest thang
homer see'd a u.f.o.
aliens on board gots fangs!!
set down in his field las' nigh'
said he saw th' creatures
they wuz a pale, ugly green
wit' creepy, creepy features!!
(never mind that 'fore he slept
he watched a horror movie
featurin' some vampires
an' aliens most creepy!)
y'all ain't gonna believe this
y'all really think THIS is cold
why, when i was 'bout your age
winter had gained a stronghold!!
was b'low freezin' fer weeks
i walked t' school, in th' snow
fer miles...uphill...BOTH ways
why y'all lookin' at me so??
y'all ain't gonna believe this
wilder they are, th' better
y'all gonna be mesmerized
'til th' very last letter!!

Hi Karla,
Only trouble with Texan's is that nobody can understand a word they say, not even Americans.
And I believe that they only live next door.----Morchuis
