Cheap Date

Here’s why I love my lady,

she’s down to earth, and more

I’ll list her many virtues,

Those things that I adore!

My baby drives a pickup truck,

can’t stand a fancy car;

Likes cheese whiz on a cracker,

can’t stomach caviar.

She’s comfy in her cowgirl boots,

high heels? her nose would bleed,

she’s not so much for “macho” types,

she’s classy, yes, indeed.

She owns a horse for riding,

only bareback and on trails,

Not for polo, that’s for sissies,

for elites whose skin is pale.

She “gets down” with the riffraff,

Not the hoi polloi with money,

she thinks that “high tea”, playing bridge

and such is rather funny.

Likes peanuts, likes to toss the shells

down on the sawdust floor,

She “chews” and always misses the

spittoon that’s by the door.

She doesn’t need the front door bell,

the back porch door is open;

she just walks in and helps herself;

a sandwich and cold one.

Goes swimming only “naturale”

she’s proud of what God gave her;

no spas for her; camps in a tent,

will rarely use a shaver.

From waist up to her shoulders,

Well, now, THAT’S the real thing.

No “upkeep”, just as natural

as anyone can be;

Domestic, yes, no imports,

shops discount, not Dior;

blue jeans, no silk pajamas,

loves honky tonk, for sure.

She owns a mutt, no high class breed,

plays darts down at the “home” bar,

likes rhinestones, and she “rolls her own”,

won’t touch a ‘vana “Cee-gar”

She likes who she’s become

and doesn’t need a diamond ring,

she’s big time independent; did I

mention she can sing?

The best thing that I like about

the woman I adore,

she’s smart and sweet and loves mankind,

how could I ask for more?
