River Life

You old muddy devil, back for more, Surging to flood, you'd even the score. I know you want to sweep me away, Wouldn't stop 'til we're out in the bay. Can't trick me though, I'm wise to your ruse, House and garden you'd take for a cruise. There were days when you stayed out of sight, Deviously, you rose up by night. I keep praying, I always give thanks, Just so you don't come over your banks, But you'll finally win, why pretend? You have great patience, time without end.
