Phil and His Big Cracker A*s Mouth

He shouldn't have but he did

Phil got thrown off  Duck Dynasty
For shooting off his trap
Rednecks hating on gays again
It's the usual crap

Bullshit reality celebrities
The fame goes to their head
Say something stupid in the press
and liberals want them dead

Old Phil just said what he believed
To bad it was hateful
Out of step with the liberal press
They all should be grateful

Now they have the perfect face
for everything they hate
A dumb as f**k inbred redneck
served on a dinner plate

Point to Phil evil incarnate
an old school kind of hick
For quoting biblical scripture
that regulate his dick

Dumb hillbillies are everywhere
My family's full of them
I might just be kin folk to Phil
By redneck gene pool stem

I'm a great shot with a rifle
No stranger to explosives
I got sent to a foreign land
to f**k up all the natives

Don't you see I might just be
The redneck you're looking for
So I'll just phone up A&E
And say to search no more

I promise not to hate on gays
So give me my own show
Ricochet's reality street
He's just another schmo

You know I've never seen duck dynasty.

Ughhhhh...I've been hiatus on the café for personal reasons...my husband was browsing through your work and shared this poem of yours with me...I felt an uneasy stirring in my soul "I wanted to stay silent" but in doing that it will eventually turn into word vomit, so I needed to purge. First off, his comments were made during a GQ interview, he never said this stuff on air. And btw, did you know that were editing out the word "Jesus" every time he said grace on the show? Since when did Jesus become a bad word? If he was praying to the almighty Allah I'm sure nobody would have cared. I'm tired of double standards. Why is it okay for a gay person to be open about their sexuality, yet if somebody is open about their beliefs it becomes brash and rude? We cannot punish somebody about their beliefs or restrict this practice in any way. If we do, we are jeopardizing our freedom of speech as we know it. Eventually we will get arrested for saying the word "fat" just ask Jennifer Lawrence, according to her that word should be illegal. It's called suck it up and get a f*****g backbone people. If you don't like it...just turn the TV off!

Apparently old Phil violated his contract with his network by talking trash about a powerful, politically connected group who sponsors don't need boycotting their products in the market place. Phil does have the right to say what he wants and his supporters have the right to gather around him just like his detractors have a right to cry foul and his bosses have a right to fire him for contract violation. I've never seen his show and I'm not gay, black or particularly PC so I've no vested interest in the story.

I'm a poet who writes satire so to me it was good grist for a poem. I'll tell you this much though. You talk some s**t about vets or the marine Corps I'll be so far up your a*s my head will be stuck in your colon so I can understand where his detractors are coming from. Thanks for stopping by muse. I appreciate it

[Baby Ricochet]

I should have wrote anyone talk s**t about the marine Corps. I wasn't directing that comment at you

Thanks for explaining the headlines I've seen about this guy and his unfortunate remarks with a well-written, complete poem.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you for stopping by Daniel. I appreciate it

I do not watch Duck Dynasty, but my brother-in-law loves it. I am not looking forward to the conversation about this at Christmas... I would watch "Ricochet's Reality Street", though! :)

[Baby Ricochet]

Lol! Thank you Rita

[Marie]

I've never watched Duck Dynasty either. I don't watch reality shows, but if you get one, I'll make an exception...

[Baby Ricochet]

Awesome! Thank you marie.

[Ruth]

Being in the UK, I haven't seen...but can imagine...

[Baby Ricochet]

I think the British word for redneck is yob. It's a close proximity anyway. Thank you for stopping by Ruth. It's a pleasure to hear from you

[Ruth]

Yob or chav lol And welcome...

[Rob Santana]

I've seen duck dynasty once but I was drunk and all I did was laugh. I'm aware of what Phil said and all the publicity and backlash he's getting for it. HOWEVER, I can't stand it when people get bent out of shape when someone expresses themselves. How times have changed. My father told me at a young age to never be afraid of expressing myself or my opinions. People are just to f****n sensitive. You're gay? That's your business. You're in an interracial marriage? That's your business. Why is it okay to go to a comedy club and laugh your a*s off at these same topics . But it's not okay to express yourself or opinion. It's the same f****n s**t people, good grief man!! Also, why is it (at least out here in Los Angeles) when the gay community gets talked about they (the gay community) intimidate people with boycotting and all kinds of other bullshit. Forget about it.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you for your input creeper. I duly appreciate it.

[Muse]

One of the few intelligent responses my friend. Thank you Creeper!

[MsJewel]

I've never watched Duck Dynasty either and still I'm familiar with Phil - I guess it doesn't take much to become a celebrity any more...just the right place at the right time and a big mouth to get face time.

Love your sense of humor BR. It is as if you say "what the hell" and put it all out there.
As always, a delight to read your words.

:) Julie

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you jewel

[KAOlmsted]

HA! I've never seen it either, but I can't walk through Redneck Mecca (WalMart) without seeing his face everywhere. Well, you know how I feel about this, so I'll just say nice work. I liked it a lot. I hope you get your own show. I would totally watch it. But now I'm off...these pop up ads are making me crazy xD Have a nice Christmas, Mark. Love to you and Lex. xoxo

[Jack...]

Man, you even brought Kimmer out of hiding with this one. Right up the charts.

[Baby Ricochet]

KIMMER!!!! It great to hear from you! Merry Christmas and thanks for stopping by

[KAOlmsted]

HA! ;-) My pleasure, boys.

Living in a fish bowl
(even with a beard)
You can't hide from
A a*s cracking
Thought
That slips passed
Censers on tulips
And the flora and fauna that will follow
Only makes
Some jolly, Some sick
E coli in a belly ,Has given Phil
The squirts
I think his came from sippin water from the creek.
Some in this world might of got their
Hersheys another way.
" Whatever you want to say,
Say it with a Kiss.
The right words don't always come easily.
And sometimes it's impossible to say
what you really mean.
But give someone
Hershey's Kisses chocolate
And you'll instantly say it all."
Kiss someone Phil.

That's right you crazy old hippy. Thanks for stopping by. I always get a charge out of your rambling comments

[Jay Steitler]

I subscribe to the policy, that you have a right to free speech, and the rest of us have a right to our criticism about it. The great equalizer.

[Baby Ricochet]

For sure. Thanks for stopping by Jay
