The Brag: Mountain Mens Greeting

When men were men, Mountain men, they would shout out a small greeting to those approaching, some were very discriptive...here is mine:

 

Born in a blizzard, back in a grizzly's cave,

drank wolf milk, use a knife to shave.

Can out spit, out run, out shoot any known

man alive.

Can fight two or more men just to keep it fair,

now get down from your horse and tell me

what the hell your doing here!

 

Man I tell you I was born in the wrong century.

Open land, cooking outside, trade my furs for a good woman.

Shoot guns, drink whiskey...hell it don't get any better then that.

Course I would change a few things, like..I would need my toilet paper,

that corn husk thing , well I'm not for all that.

I'd have to figure out how to put a heater and windshield on that horse of mine too.

I'd **** sure would get me a better rifle then that Hawkins( mind you it was the rifle of its time) just to even up the score when them city slickers start trying to sneak away my whiskey.

Ah, yes just rambling. Anyways back to the real world.
