Billy Bob and Jimmy Joe

by James von Dielingen 

Billy Bob and Jimmy Joe were fightin' over nuttin'
Billy Bob said Jimmy Joe had stolen his new button
Jimmy Joe said Billy Bob was crazy for accusin'
And that he was about to get a royal Jimmy bruisin'
Billy Bob would not let up until Jimmy Joe fessed up
And admitted that he stole the button and thereby he messed up
Jimmy Joe was so mad he was gonna blow a sprocket
He said that Billy Bob should check his own overall pocket
Billy Bob said that he had already checked it twice
But agreed to check it once again just to be very nice
He stuck his hand into the top and out the bottom popped
The very fingers that the pocket lining should have stopped
I do believe you owe me an apology,” jimmy quipped
But I'll help you in your search until each rock is rightly flipped.”
They searched the barnyard high and low and each place they'd been workin'
They simply had no idea where the button might be lurkin'
They took a rest for just a bit under their favorite tree
Jimmy Joe saw a glint of light and wondered what it could be
Billy jumped around for joy when he saw his brand new button
And apologized to Jimmy for fightin' over nuttin'

Shelby McFarland

by James von Dielingen

Shelby McFarland
Was such a sweet darlin'
She always did what was told

She milked the cows
And slopped the sows
When she was just three years old

When she turned four
She declared, "No more!"
So her parents traded her for gold
