Country Girl

There are plenty of fish
I figured, so I’ve got

to be the mullet.
In her picture,

she was leaning on a post
so, I said, “Baby,
you sure know how
to hold up a fence.”

That beat out: “I’d like to see you
wearing nothing but mud,”

and “You look like you
could really get a siphon started.”

I thought it was a good line
but, apparently,

not everybody in
Polk County

knows how to take
a compliment.
