~> Since Ya Left Me Gal [ Redneck Free verse ]

Since ya left me gal

a've tried

ta 'flush' yer

mem'ry, frum the

transmission 

uv ma broken heart---

 

In this Jiffy-Lube station

a loneliness ah stand,

an the dipstick uv

our love

jest keeps readin'

thet we'ze 

still a quart low.

 

ah still seeze yer

purty face;

yer still there,

like-en thet

squashed butterfly

on ma windshield

thet ma wipers

jest cain't seem

ta remove, completely--

 

this pickup truck a luv

thet we once knowed

'fore ya 

split on me babe,

still needs 

a jumpstart every day.

 

when ah turn on ma

hearts air conditioner;

the pine tree

air refreshner

a hangin' on ma

rear view mirror

uv life,

jiggles vigressly

always remindin' me a you~
