Chew's Ranch

I had an aunt and uncle We called them Boo and Chew They had ranch in West Texas Where they grew a crop or two They had no city water A windmill was their thing Summer is hot and dusty there I swear it never rains They had an outdoor toilet A two holer, I recall The building was kind of squatty So the seats weren’t very tall I saw Dad go in there Heard a rumble and a roar He had a question on his mind When he came out the door “What can you raise around here Besides those sugar beets” Chew said almost anything “Then raise the toilet seats”

Too funny. I've been to one of those and it is an experience. Agreat verse for the out door type.
