Country, Really?

When I hear a country song,
One thought comes in my head.
Just one more twangy baritone,
And I'll soon be dead!

They like to sing 'bout heartbreak,
And other things the like.
I'll listen to more hopeful things,
Or else will take a hike!

^ Short and to the point.. I LOVE it. I don't really like country music either, and they do always sing about heartbreak. It's gets pretty cliche after a while, and they all sound the same! Overall, great piece. I really liked it :)

I like this. It's nice and short but the message is definitely clear, that country music sucks. I couldn't agree more. The rhyming is good, too. Good work. Keep it up.

This was okay..it didn't seem like a song though. You also forgot to mention about them singing about drinking.

I enjoyed reading it but I do have a few idea how you could make it better.
Instead of saying When I hear a country song,One thought comes in my head. Why not try and put it like this When I hear a country song,One thought comes to my mind.

and here instead of-They like to sing 'bout heartbreak,And other things the like. why not try it like this They like to sing 'bout heartbreak,And other things they might like.

overall Very good poem.

This felt more like a poem to me than a song, but I liked it anyway. I can't stand country music...especially male country singers...it makes me cringe. I like some female country singers like Shania Twain and Taylor Swift, but that's it.

Good job

Ahahaha! I really liked this, it was short and sweet.

Just one small suggestion:

Or else will take a hike!
I would change the will to I'll. That's only my opinion though.

Great work! :)
