A New Day I Guess

There's something strange up in the sky It's been days since we've seen it The clouds look growly and black Is it possible they'll chase it back The buffalo enjoy the new grass The ponds the ducks and geese But me I've been mudded in It's just like walking on grease We accept these days of rain They are a blessing from above And after these days have gone They are very scare the whole year long If we were a thousand or two feet higher It would then be snow And then once again I'd be stuck here at home My daughter said "just suck it up, at least the wind didn't blow." I must admit she was right The new shingles on my roof Have a hundred mile an hour goal. Don't get me started on the wind For the lands where I have lived Have winds from tornados on down To not even a little breeze I was in a couple tornados in Kansas I'd rather watch than stay in a cellar But in Wyoming it near knocks me off my feet And readjusts my car door. It just came to me No wonder I do eat It is the only way I can remain on my feet. P. S. The last verse Does fill my heart with glee Now I don't have to worry about The weight you see on me Cile Beer
