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”
