The South Gets Out Poem by Barry Middleton

now once in a while
the south gets out
I call somebody honey
what was I thinking about

don't want to be
politically correct
but still I don't want grief
oh what the hell, oh what the heck

I went to the market
a pretty girl was there
I said hey babe what's up
big mistake, what an icy stare

now I don't mean
no disrespect
but the south gets out in front
oh what the hell, oh what the heck

a man's a brother
a chick's a chick
or maybe sweetie pie
and I won't change, you know I'm sick

it's not so bad
I pay the check
I hold the door for you
oh what the hell, oh what the heck
