...besides the LORD, and my menfolk:  Nobody.


(sonnet #MMMMMCMLXXXIX)


I meant to 'gin:  Officious.  Sunday thence
With echoes of religious duties they'll
Assure you's needful, 'til in sheer betrayl
Tis sin to not be there and an offense
To sleep-in, whilst the shabby bow from hence
To cold hauteur and know god has a scale
Whereby we measure worth by gain's detail--
But I've forgotten whither, in a sense.
Come, which is better?  Oh yes, to be sure
Like he said 'long ere:  "say whatever--" to
Add, "--but stand on it too."  If church is poor
Cuz that's pretense, so is aught falsehood.  Do
I be a hyp'crite in love too, well you're
Allowed to censure me.  Who owns me?  Who?

Yes, we've a Dukes of Hazard car which counts this intersection routine, passing through for years now, and I can't begin to number off the rest, in addition to diesel pickmeups and don't let me begin on Harleys with straight pipes.  Sunday.  Is a lovely day in the Fall.
