Summer
 
  Summer time is finally here
School is out and fishing time near.
Barefooted boys and fishing poles,
Down to the creek, to the ole swimming hole.
Running through the woods, along the river bank,
That old boat they used went and sank.
A can of worms, a hook and line,
Looking for a fishing pole, if they can find
Two good friends who share their fun,
They run and jump and chase the sun.
Running here, and running there.
Not any worries, not a care
But too soon, it must all end
For these two that were good friends.
Summer comes and summer moves on.
A few summers in your life, then you're grown.
But there are days we can recall When we were friends, we had it all.

We have enjoyed the redneck jokes for years.
Perhaps it's time to take a reflective look
at the core beliefs of a culture
that values home, family, country and God.
  If I had to stand before a dozen terrorists
who threaten my life, I'd choose a half dozen
 or so rednecks to back me up.
 
 Tire irons, squirrel guns and grit -- 
that's what rednecks are made of. 
 I hope I am one of those. 
If you feel the same, pass this on to your
 redneck friends. ...Ya'll know who ya'  are...
 
 You might be a redneck if: 
It never occurred to you to be offended
by the phrase, "One nation, under God."
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You've never protested about seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You still say "Christmas"
instead of "Winter Festival."
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You bow your head when someone prays.
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You stand and place your hand over your heart
whenever they play the National Anthem.
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You treat Viet Nam vets with great respect,
 and always have.
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You've never burned an American flag. 
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You know what you believe and
aren't  afraid to say so,
no matter who is listening.
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You respect your elders and
expect your kids to do the same.
 
 You might be a redneck if:  
You'd give your last dollar to a friend. 
 
 If you're seeing this, it is because
I believe that you, like me,
may have just enough Red Neck
in you to share some of the same
core beliefs as those mentioned above.
