Kentucky Woman’s Solution
If you’re fixing
to do something,
I’m going to smile.
Solution offered
as intention to action
gets credit enough—
no need to bless
my heart.

Love this…I was just talking about “fixing to” the other day…my husband didn’t know people don’t say that in the north where I’m from. And nobody’s heart gets a sassy southern blessing up there, either. Ha!
Right? I hate that for you… the expression I most love, I adopted when I moved south to Kentucky. I’m glad you get it.
Well, bless your heart anyway, darlin! It was great to see you last night.
Good to see you, Kevin!
Doesn’t everyone talk like this? Clever and fun
thank you, Mike. Poetry should be fun, yes?
Made me smile — lovely!
