        My country and western writing skills are rusty, but here’s a little something in 3/4 time.

        On the porch after dark,

        We had been marked,

        And a thief crept through the night.

        Mawmaw heard a noise,

        Said “Stay behind me boys”,

        And grabbed a roman candle to light,


        She flung open the door,

        In her night gown and swore,

        At the man who was stealing our tires

        She puffed a Virginia slim,

        Pointed fireworks at him,

        And then proceeded to open fire.


        Mawmaw you are my hero,

        You ran him off and he’s gone without a trace,

        If he hadn’t turned and fled, he’d be better off dead,

        'cause you’d have burned off his face.
