Delbert

Delbert was a hillbilly from the Arkansas sticks.
He moved to the hills of Kentucky in 2006.
He loved the grass of vivid green
And the whole land was a lovely scene.

He loved the folks, friendly and warm
The whole place had a wonderful charm
He loved the food from the grits to the ham
But he just couldn't get his favorite jam.

As much as he loved the grits
The Kentucky Jelly gave him the shits.
It had a bad taste and left a film from his mouth to his belly.
There was just no eating that KY Jelly.

Wait.... You're not supposed to eat it? That explains a lot.

LOL. I was trying to figure out what "kentucky Jelly" was when I got to the last line.

Fuzz -- you've got one hell of an imagination dude.

He should have had it with peanut butter. It would have stiffened him up a little.

catch: Thanks, no reply.

andie: Indeed it would.

ben: Thanks, I heard a joke with that punchline the other day and just kind of worked it out in poetic fashion.

cz: This one was just a reworked joke. I can't take much credit except for knowing a good joke when I hear one.

Poor, ignorant AR hick just thought the KY stood for Kentucky. He probably thought it was made from some transparent, seedless fruit.
Come back to AR, you bumpkin!

Fun poem!!

I'd have thought that by now, it came in different flavors than Kentucky.

Have you seen the KY Jelly billboard that shows a tube and says, "Yeah, we can't think of any other uses for it either."

jamie dawn: A transparent seedless fruit could be taken so many ways.

granny: And I will keep serving them up.

pixie: I don't think it's slow. It just takes a while for some to get into a warped frame of mind.

wc: They really do need to work on getting a few flavors concocted.

lisa: Ahh, that is sooo sweet.

sherri: Thanks.

angel, jr: I will give you the creative part. I don't know about the genius part.
