Listen to poem:

Drinking Well

My stomach is on my mind
Won't you get that griddle cooking
My mind is on my heart
Couldn't get no better looking

My memories all ran dry
Went down to the drinking well
Fill me up my loving cup
Surely wasn't thinking well

My tractor lost a wheel
The hoe can't even pull her out
My cat came back without her
The dog can't even figure it out

I have to say I love your STYLE! This is a puzzling piece... I would say it's meant to be laughed at. Well done Mike! All the best, Keith 7
