POEM: Hillbilly Hell on Kilwilly Hill

This was produced for the CPC Thematic Attic Thursday poetry challenge.  Bettie’s theme is what gets one in and/or out of the “doghouse.”

HILLBILLY HELL ON KILWILLY HILL


or


DOGHOUSE LOUSE


I have a sad tale of woe to tell
of how I arrived in Hillbilly Hell.
Not a place that’s fun to be.
Nothing good to do, or see.
It happened at home near the old stone mill
way up towards the summit of Killwilly Hill.

A Kilwilly louse who was thoroughly soused
aroused a grouse outside my house.
Result was quite unfortunate.
Reactions were importunate.
Shotgun I was cleaning at the window.
Soon grouse was on the dinner menu.

My spouse was not a fan of grouse,
and she has never been a mouse.
Condemned for being a louse,
I was sent to the doghouse.
You see she thought it a sin.  Doh!
Before I shot, I had not opened the window!
