Twila

Twenty years of bar fights
have made her face look rough.
She has a house full of children
and a mouth full of snuff. 

Three packs of cigarettes a day
have given her a gravelly voice.
Spandex leggings and camouflage jackets
are her couture of choice.

 She's only thirty-six years old
and already is a great-granny.
She has tattoos of Jesus and Trump,
one on each cheek of her fanny. 

They are her two saviors,
the objects of her adoration.
She's counting on one to save her soul
and the other to save her nation. - Jeff Barnes
