This is a 'ballad' that just came to me as I quickly jotted it down.. I like to do this... get the germ of an idea and let it roll... lol... no editing involved... this is just a raw piece... and took about 15 minutes to write.
AUNT MILLIE'S BABY
Aunt Millie looms as large as life
in memories from my childhood past
I still 'see' her round plump arms
and her hippy ass
She was big & wondrous
as were her lemonades and pies
and she could tell if I was honest
with one look into my eyes
"Churh time! It's Sunday, dear"
she hollered through the dooor one morn
I groaned and faced the wall
so she screeched it in my ear
I sighed and fumblingly unwound
the bedding from my bod
then stumbled to the outhouse
so Aunt Millie'd spare the rod
Arm by arm and leg by leg
I got into my suit
Seems I passed Aunt Mill's inspection..
at least got some breakfast
and spending loot..
with a frown most stern and somber
she says, "That headache oughta
larn ya not to go on drinkin toots"
We clomped on down the street
to the church all white n pretty
where the townies Sunday meet
in this quaint and country 'city'
About half way through the sermon
I awoke in time to hear
"Lord save us all's !! & Let me outta here's" !!
A Skunk came out from somewhere
coulda been from anywhere
but rumor has it that those twins..
kids by Jeremiah Knowles..
dropped it inna window, God they were a pair!
It scurried here, it scurried there
and then to mine and Milllie's horror
it scampered beneath her chair
and. then. and... then her eyes, they flew wide open
in a most scary, awesome stare
and her belly grew a bigger bulge
She squealed and wrapped her arms
around the lump that squirmed in there
and looked for all the world
like she was preggers with a skunk.
"Keep it's tail down! Hold it pinned"!
Advice, it came a-flyin
And if I said I didn't grin
well then, I'd be a-lyin
The congregation crowded us
and we sidled as a pack
toward the open door
to free Sir Skunk out back
When we pulled her dress up
Millie fainted on the floor
The rest, it all is history
me n Millie slunk on home
and if Mill ever went to church again
it wan't known... to me
