Hoosier
You don’t have to be from Indiana
to be a Hoosier.
Just because you live in a trailer,
doesn’t make you a loser.
You don’t have to have a car
up on blocks.
No clotheslines of jeans,
underwear and socks,
Flapping in the wind
for all to see.
Gun racks in the window
are not necessary.
No gigging frogs,
or shooting squirrels.
No square dancing,
giving twirls.
But if you’ve done five
from the list above,
you’re a Hoosier,
my family would love.
(In and around St. Louis, MO, Hoosier means the same thing as Redneck. I’ll apologize to anyone who’s from Indiana in advance.)
