Hey to Goobers!
Hope you don't mind a lengthy post this time.... I wrote this and thought
I'd pass it along.
"I'd Choose Mayberry"
If I could choose who'd stand by me
As sheriff, Paw or friend,
Andy'd be my pick of all,
"Blood Brothers" to the end!
You'd seldom see sheriff Taylor
With a gun, for I suspect,
Instead of filling you with fear,
He as soon have your respect!
Now if I chose another one
To help protect my life,
This other one could only be
Our own dear "Fearless Fife!"
Barney and his trusty gun
Would never be apart.
The bullet in his pocket,
Is right next to his heart!
If I could choose a playmate
Who'd be closer than a brother,
I'd want him to be Opie
Could I choose any other?
The two of us might skip some stones
At "the old fishing hole"
Or some such thing like kids might do,
To just enrich their souls!
But if I were to try to choose
An Aunt who'd care for me,
One who'd hug and hold me close,
It'd have to be Aunt Bee!
Oh, what delicious meals we'd have.
For milk she'd give me nickels;
But I'd be searching where to hide,
In case she might make pickles!
And if a town must have a "drunk"
Yes one whom all would notice,
The fellow I would likely choose
Is former lawman Otis!
I'd also vote him singing star,
"Dipsy Doodle" or "Sweet Adeline"
But if I caught him riding a cow,
For that, he'd be slapped with a fine!
If I were to choose a barber
Who can cut sideburns just right,
Floyd is your man, if any one can,
His magazines are quite out of sight!
If I were to choose my Ideal Town,
A "Friendly One," if you please,
It'd be I know, where the livin' is slow
Where I'd live and grow with ease!
In my chosen town, with folk so dear
It'd be such a sanctuary,
Where else could it be, it's so plain to see,
I'd be livin' in sweet Mayberry!
