Notes:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Skinny-Dippin’ with Alligators<\/a> is a comic narrative poem in Southern speech, more precisely \u201cTexas Tawk\u201d – a language I more or less forgot over the years.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

The idea for it\u00a0<\/i>\u00a0came to me when I was thinking about travel, and in particular a poem by Horace which I had taught years ago. Homer<\/strong> and Virgil<\/strong> and Beatrice<\/strong> enter as character names, hence the spurious subtitle, a <\/i>Redneck Odyssey<\/span><\/strong>. I wanted to write in the soft, swangy accent of my youth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I fiddled at a while till I realized I’d need some help. The proximity of my cousin Red Dog<\/strong> made me think he might help me speak like that again.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

What they call in the movies plot, character, scenario – in all that we became a tag team.\u00a0 <\/span>The music is his. \u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Parental guidance warning to the Ladies and the Gentlemen present who may not like having exposed out in public how they think and what they do.\u00a0There is not a shred of political correctness herein.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
