Buck Cup
Drink from buck cup - hiccup!
Shot booze - snooze zzzzzzzs
Bee buzz. Honey in tea for me
One eye open, need buck cup
Lucky cup, supper drink a cup
Of brewed cinnamon brew too
Blues on the radio, sip. Dip
Cookie, I'm no rookie to drip
Drip, coffee smells fill the room
Smoking cigarettes, no regrets
Filling the pages without gloom
Fruit juice with my coffee morn
A new day is born. No morning
Can start my day without dismay
I can say it's the day of mourning
No scorning, no spanky, no hanky
Angels on high, sigh a sign of relief
That grief has left, deaf to my ear
No fear, no more tears, no jeering
Just pretty earrings, pearls of oysters
Oyster crackers in my soup. Scoop
A story with glory to the flags on
The wall. Eagles in the hall, tall and
Small. On the walls: fish and dishes,
Tall tales, whales, foxes, boxes of
Dishes - I wish forever more to store
My things and bring happiness to
Those without a doubt. In a drought
I have water. Slaughter a cow, how
Else can you grill without the kill.
Still waters run deep in my buck cup.
I will still hiccup, and supper potluck.
