When I were schooled english wernt my thing.
My scores in English lurning no bells done ring.
Yea I grajaded but ain't english smart ….no lie!
Come end a school year the teach said 'By Bri.'
Was same in bilogy, math, jografy all that stuff.
I done did my best and guess my best were enough.
I did done grate at ball games and in trak run the mile.
I was a THREEletter man and made them girls smile.
I got payed for pumpin gas an turned 18 served my Nation.
For 'Bravry Under Fire' in the NAM I were town sensation.
Back home, all tired, I done gone back to the gas station …..
and worked evry week I culd with no vacasion.
One thing lurned what done good for me was fixin cars.
I worked with shirt of to show of my many NAM scars.
A day done come I met a girl from my dreams.
We got now three kids and life is good it seams.
I think my English done even proved a litle bit ….
but if it don't I don't' mind cuz I is happy an don't give no shit.

Please read my 2018 addition to my Poet's Notes. There is a sequel to the poem you just read. :) bri
No doubt. I think you should write your comments and reviews in verse. That will cut out the verbiage. No need for explanations. The poem speaks for itself. It's a tenner!
I read it to myself with a hillbilly drawl, as if I was one of the mountain scumbags that stalked Burt Reynolds' canoeing party in 'Deliverance', and turned out to be even more amusing.
It gives me pleasure to revisit this amazing poem! Stay blessed dear Bri

Loved this poem which PH has rated your best. Bri, you will go down in history as the inventor of sensible spelling for the great Queen's language English. God bless you and your sense of humour. (10)
