My boots have seven lace holes,
my shirts have seven buttons,
and I work for seven days
so I don’t want fer nothin’.
If I live ‘til seventy
I’ll take the rest for granted;
still have time for seven wives,
the same as grampy wanted.

The colloquial language adds humour but also makes it all sound so authentic. Thanks for participating.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure.
DeleteLove the language but he might be wise to stick with wanting fer nothin' and forget about the 7 wives :-)
ReplyDeleteOh I love the things taken for granted... is that what he's saving up for?
ReplyDeleteHeeheeHee. ;)
ReplyDeleteI am smiling. This was fun to read!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this!
ReplyDeleteAll sounds reasonable ... except the 7 wives :)
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteI love the use of the sevens in this especially the opening two examples!
ReplyDeleteha - seven wives might get a bit crazy..but, I do like the number 7 and look you wrote it on the 22nd another fine number.
