And the Well Was Dry

Went to the well and the well was dry So what shall I do, oh me, oh my My mind's in a quandary, what shall I do I fear I've run dry, I haven't a clue Is there some medication that I can take My mind's in a dither for goodness sake This surely can't be, I must go lie down Will try a wee nap, my mind might rebound Does this ever happen to you guys out there Is this an affliction uncommon or rare Will try it again gonna give it a shot Gonna go for broke, give it all that I've got So this should be easy, what rhymes with boy It's uh... hang on... my heart's filled with joy Hey, I think I'm finally back on the track I'm saved, I'm saved, the old Jack is back This smile on my kisser is here to stay Unless once again my rhymes they do stray It's a life or death issue so wish me good luck Sorry about this, for being such a schmuck I promise you friendlies from this day on It's all copacetic and everything's calm © Jack Ellison 2014

Calm? Not here! When my well runs dry, I just run to Hubby. He's always full of sayings and ideas. Like the other day he said... He had to turn on the car wipers to get the squirrels off the wind shield. We DO NOT have that many squirrels! Honest! And I've only counted 22 at one time. Tho we've seen 100 chirpie, flighty little birdies plus 27 morning doves, with them, at one time. Dragon's intent on chasing them around so he can count them! Silly Dragon. It'd be easier if he'd just sit still!
