My Story by
Colonel Montana

If ya like dat crek spellin don’t red on as dis is a hillbilly story writen by me Colonel Montana. Ma daddy called me Montana cuz he said I looked lumpy like da state. My friens added the Colonel cuz I can shoot real good.
This here is the mansion that Selma, Orky and I live in. Best place in the Holla.

And dis here is Selma , best hyntin dog you ever seen, just ask my wife Orky.

Orkys da Holla mud wrestlin champ three years now. I’m so prooud.

Don’t have dem kids yet but we got Louise.
She stays in da house wit us just like a kid.

In our special world Eagles fly over.

My brudder Illinois shot one, dang fool. Now he’s in the county jail. Dem birds protected better an us people.
Shriff don’t look ta other way when you shoot dem like he does when you shoot dat deer.
Course if he arrested deer shooters we'd all be in jail or starving.
I hope you enjoyed the tour but I and Selma gotta go and bust my brother outa jail. It’s dark enough now.
