I'll Start Out with a Fine Chablis
~oOo~
I'd be honored to sit
With y'all
I'll start out with a fine chablis
Civil-ed Spirits
Are so very important
Don't You agree?
.
Kindly, make mine
A cheese and
Shrimp, dear sir
I do love those G.R.I.T.S.casseroles
Yes sir, a side of conch salad
Would be lovely
As would
A teeny slice of your mothers lovely
Sweet potato bread
And tall glass of unsweet tea
Please, dear
And thank you
.
Now down to business
Gratuitous you say?
I beg to differ, dear! ! !
Have you forgotten D-Day?
..

Note:
.
'In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime MinisterTony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America, he said:
'A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out.'
.
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
.
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.
.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
