Mountain Emotion

 

A cutting-edge ventriloquist,

One of some renown,

Had his dummy hurling insults

In a West Virginia town.

 

As hillbilly stereotypes flew

Down from the nightclub stage, 

The performer was ill-prepared

For the man who charged in rage.

 

"Hold on," said the frightened comic,

"It's all just meant in fun."

Said the man, "'T'ain't you I'm atter.

I jis' wanna git that liddle Ôun."
