Is that Poke Sally Annie?
All her brothers were good for was stealing watermelons out of my truck patch.
Someone stole Chelsea’s baby?

When that song came out I asked my parents what poke salad was. To my surprised they both were familiar with it and had both eaten it.
Thnx!
Isn’t poke the same as arugula? Just a fancier name.
I don’t know. I do remember us asking our biology prof about “poke salad”, probably because of the song.
He told us it was actually more popular up North. He said they cooked it in water to boil the poison out of it, then poured that water off. He said then they added butter or other spices to it. He also said it had very little food value except for whatever was added to it.
Also it was not a serious poison. It would give you an upset stomach was about all.
I just looked it up... based on what you said. Poke is not the same as arugula at all. I think I was confusing poke weed with Hawaiian poke, something totally different. Thanks, you taught me something today.
I remember my older Brother would pick rabbit tobacco and try to smoke it. I don’t even remember what it looked like. I do remember Daddy caught him smoking and gave him a switching.
Elvin Bishop had a song called Stealing Watermelons
Honestly, what were you thinking? That’s funny but it’s so
warped.
I know rabbit tobacco. We used make bouquets with it. Never tried to smoke it though. Supposedly it’s good for you.
