Some of Debbie's poetic offerings:

Good eatin' tonight
Scraped from mah pickup's mudflaps
Homemade possum pie.

Art and Nature meet
Across from my La-Z-Boy --
Bigmouth Billy Bass.

Leaking trailer roof
Finally, indoor plumbing
No more horse trough baths.

O! Thelma, my love,
Your luminescent skin glows
Like grits in moonlight.

More redneck haiku from Randy:

Remember that time
When I just dropped my snare drum
And kept on walkin?

Playin Jethro Tull
licks on the orchestra bells
With Janet and Rick.

Old Milwaukee quarts
were only fifty nine cents
What a great breakfast.

Ramblerettes got all
excited when we marched em
up to the bleachers.

Robin and Debbie
Worlds apart but still right here
Amazing email.

Reunions are great.
Still lost in the seventies
but so what? It rocked.

A familiar thump
No drive thru for me tonight
Raccoon sauce piquante.

Poor little Robin
Way over there in England
Why dontcha move back?

And my reply:

Robin, a slave to
British pop culture, rattles
her gold chains, and dreams...

Pubs, great wine and cheese,
Changing Rooms, blackbirds--keep her
on this green island.

In contrast, Texas
offers the Bush family,
guns, chiggers, and heat.

To Robin, the heat
is the best part--except for
the low house prices.

A miniscule flat
in Surrey, or a ranch house
on half an acre?

Both available for
a thousand a month (but lawn
mowers cost extra).

Anyway, Robin
has cast the dice--she's headed
back to SAT.

Pray she remembers
to drive on the right, and how
to eat tamales.

Or, once again,
she'll hear the phrase: You ain't from
around here, are you?
