I Am From

I am from the side of town with an abundance of trees, deer, and four wheelers.
I am from the country, I don't know how far my neighbors house is numerically but it's hollerin' distance.
I am from a town where everybody knows everybody.
I am from the side of town where if my grandma throws a cookout with her sweet tea, sweet potato pie, and red rice you can be sure the whole block will SHOW UP and SHOW OUT!
I am from where the seafood is so fresh because it came out the creek right next door.
I am from the home of FROGMOE STEW, season it right, add some beer to the boil, and THE GOOD TIMES WILL ROLL!
I am from Middleton Plantation, my slave ancestors took the last name of their Slavemaster.
I am from a tall, regal, and hardworking grandfather.
I am from a hard working, fashionable, and witty grandmother.
I am from a hilarious, chic, and intelligent mother.
I am from "Ova yonder", "Back dey", and "right cha".
I am from family secrets passed down from generation to generation.
I am from Chawlston, Chucktown, South Cackalack!

Where I'm from made me who I am.
