Words.  Sentences.  Name calling.  Some things said or written amongst us deserve a special place and this is it.  Ha.  Or not.  But let’s pretend this is it. 

Some of my favorite examples of good word play have come from my family. 

Songwriter and Uncle Guy (Clark), pictured above with Aunt Susanna in the 70s.  Pardon me…I know there’s a universe more from Guy, but I like, “She’s Crazy For Leavin’”…Rodney Crowell sang it.    

“So I kicked and I cussed
That old east Texas road
I throwed rocks at my truck
Which had busted my nose

You add insult to injury
What do you get
You get a bus stop full of honkies
That don’t ever forget.”

Aunt Susanna (Clark):  “You’re a hard dog to keep under the porch.”  And, “Quarter moon in a ten cent town.” 

 CT:  “Shakespeare makes my head hurt.”

Suzie Talley:  “I couldn’t stay with him.  He sucked my aura.”
