Redneck Jingle Bells (by Redneck Rett)

Redneck Jingle Bells

Jingle bells, Shotgun shells
And a thirty aught six today!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse Chevrolet!

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse Chevrolet
O'er the fields we go
Drinking night and day.
Bells on tailgates ring
Making spirits bright.
What fun it is to shoot and sing
We shot a deer tonight.

Oh Jingle bells, rifle shells
Drinking all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse Chevrolet!
— Rett, Dec 10, 2009

Yeah!

I can remember the one horse chevrolet. Shot gun shells is a good red-neck image; but I actually remember my dad meeting my boyfriend (ex husband)with his shotgun as he (boyfriend) drove up in his chevrolet. It was summer, though, but we did go squirrel hunting with 22 rifles. After about 3 one horse models I got a 327, 4 on the floor, glass pacs, cool, capri cream with black vinyl top. Yeah, baby. Yours, Deelilah

I've done all that

Delilah, boy oh boy do I remember those days. The old chevy truck with the fenders almost rusted out, flopping as you hit the holes and dips. Squirrel hunting (ate so much I can't stand them any more). Respectfully, Rett: “Anyone who sacrifices liberty for security deserves neither.” Benjamin Franklin

Awww, thanks Anna

I've just been very busy working on some stuff and trying to get my "Two Alone" novel (was posted here as Taxi driver) published. Finally got a bite and made it past the Query letter stage. They asked for my manuscript. Should know in a couple of weeks whether it will get published or not. Sitting on pins and needles ouch! Glad you got a laugh out of this. Thank you. *S* Respectfully, Rett: “Anyone who sacrifices liberty for security deserves neither.” Benjamin Franklin

Don't you worry, you can get off your needles & pins (unless you like the feeling, lol) that's a serious bite, my friend. Hugs of luck, Anna Don’t let your victories go to your head, or your failures go to your heart.
