Dall-E prompt cartoon character of farmer with read hair, overalls and straw in his mouth.

In tales of recent days, you may have spied,

The name of Bubba D, I don’t hide.

Allow me now to introduce this man,

Whose life’s as colorful as Texas’ land.

Within a prairie town, his heart did dwell,

Bubba D, his name, as folks would tell,

Affectionately, “Bubba D” he’s known,

For “Bubba Dumbf**k,” his true name, they’d own.

Raised on a quaint farm, heart good and kind,

Yet intellect, a sack of spuds, you’d find.

A bona fide buffoon, truth to be told,

In him, a sense of common sense did hold.

One day, good fortune smacked him in the face,

Texas lottery, his saving grace.

Overnight, his wealth grew to the skies,

But Bubba’s plans were far from worldly-wise.

He thought of farmland, stocks, and simpler things,

No need for complex thoughts or diamond rings.

Yet, trouble lurked around him like a ghost,

As schemers eyed his fortune, it engrossed.
