Honky Town

I think it's funny as hell, but that's me.

And every time you step outside you fall up-on your—

Honky donkey diddly on-key makes me think of a lie,

But if you go to Honky town, you’ll see the same as I.

I loved it! A really fun poem. Reminds me of mad libs LOL. It is nice when poetry can be light and entertaining instead of deep and mysterious. Sometimes we just need to be entertained. Thanks for inviting me to read it. It really is great!

Good job
