Ok I actually from Colorado, so obviously this poem does very little for me, but nonetheless I still thought it was cool. It comes from my friend from the South, David, in Louisiana. I met him down in New Zealand (waaaay south) and even though you vanished for like 2 years and didn't call, it's all good cause you're back :). So here's to you David :) love ya!!!
I'll take the South...
Ahhh, The South. I love it. Could never leave it. 90 degrees already, humid,
fire ants, people wearing shorts who have no business wearing shorts....Really,
in all honesty, i could never leave The South. With all it's negative points,
I'll take it. Give me sweet tea. Give me slow, Southern drawls like my friend
Troy has. Give me pecan pie (and for Pete's sake, pronounce it right! It isn't
"pee-can", it's "puh-khan".) I want those great phrases like " fixin' to" and
"y'all come back". I like that "Coke" is a generic term in The South and could
mean any number of carbonated beverages. I love that real Southern-bred women
wouldn't be caught dead outside the house without makeup on and their hair done.
Give me the red squirrels - not the brown or black ones. I want my fair share of
spicy, boiled crawfish, fried catfish, okra, gumbo and fried green tomatoes. I
take pride in being able to throw out quotes from "Gone With the Wind", and
"Steele Magnolias". I used to want distinguishable seasons, but who cares?? I'll
take 100 degree, 90 % humidity summer days and 2 weeks of "winter" anytime.
Azealias, crepe myrtles, magnolias, mamaw, papaw, front porch rockin' chairs,
General Lee, the Gulf of Mexico, saying, "hey" and smiling at people you don't
even know... As a kid i snickered at the bumper stickers that said "American by
birth, Southern by the grace of God". Now at the ripe old age of 32, I believe
it.
