The Illinois Hillbillies
Let me tell you all a story about a man named Todd
The poor salesman barely kept his cats fed
Then one day he was playin the lottery
When up from the computer came the winning numbers
300 million that is
150 million if you take it as one lump payment
Next thing you know old Todd's a millionaire
Kinfolk said, "Todd! Move away from there!"
They said Illinois is the place you outta be
So he loaded up his crap and he moved to Illinois
Cub fans that is, Bear fans too
The Illinois Hillbillies
The poor salesman barely kept his cats fed
Then one day he was playin the lottery
When up from the computer came the winning numbers
300 million that is
150 million if you take it as one lump payment
Next thing you know old Todd's a millionaire
Kinfolk said, "Todd! Move away from there!"
They said Illinois is the place you outta be
So he loaded up his crap and he moved to Illinois
Cub fans that is, Bear fans too

About this poem:
Parody of the Beverly Hillbillies. I have a friend who is always talking about winning the lottery. In this country it has become a kind of religion. I mostly despise gambling, preying on the dumb and uneducated. It does give people hope and it surpasses all other forms of entertainment in this country combined.Poems entered on these pages are copyrighted by the authors who entered them.
