Mason Williams, (one of the writers for the Smothers Brothers used to talk about Banjo pickers in his "Them Poems", my "much older" brother and I had the opportunity to get drunk with Mason, Tommy Smothers and Glen Campbell many many years ago)....here's one of my favorites

Them Banjo Pickers

The Banjo Pickers
Mighty funny ways
Same damn song
Three or four days

Them Banjo Pickers
All they know
Cumberland Gap
Do-Si-Do

Them banjo pickers
Talkin' 'bout strings
Banjo pegs
Other such things

Them Banjo pickers
Poker-faced mugs
Never do smile
Jist play Scruggs

Them Banjo Pickers
Sure are nice
Place each song
At least twice

Them Banjo Pickers
Never git sick
Pickin' them Banjos
Pick, Pick, Pick..

I can claw hammer a bit?

How 'Bout That Toerag


How 'bout that Toerag,
ain't he a nut?
Writin' Them Poems
'bout who knows what.

Writin' 'bout poets
and writin' on the net.
Writin' Them poems
we won't forget.

How 'bout that big Toe,
ain't he a trip?
Writin' Them poems
like straight from the hip.

With a rag on his toe,
this Toerag can write!
Makin' words rhyme
right into the night.

How 'bout that poetman,
ain't he cool?
Signin' with his toe
out by the swimming pool.



(there was more... from 1999.... but the rest had references to the 'stute that nobody would understand but me and you... LOL!... great having you here, toe!)
