Okra, Chiggers and Red Clay

by Gloria Beach © 2012

Okra, chiggers and red clay
are a few of my least favorite things
but I do like a piece of chocolate cake
high heel shoes and pretty rings.

I'm glad I'm not forced to eat okra
because I live in the land of the free
so if you pickle it, fry it or boil it
there's no need to offer it to me.
It's still okra!

One day I was covered with chiggers
they drove me nuts and itched a lot
until I went to the doctor
and in my hip he gave me a shot.

Georgia red clay is so annoying
especially when it sticks to my shoes
it's almost impossible to get it off
no matter what kind of cleanser I use.

Although okra, chiggers and red clay
are a few of my least favorite things
I still thank God for other blessings
that each new day brings.
