Grass Was High
The grass was high, as were the weeds,
But on TV so were race-car speeds
I watched the turns - watched the spins
(My driver added to his wins!) … so …
Wife cut the grass.
A screen-door hinge was all a-skew
Gosh-darned thing had rusted through
But winnin’ down at Bowl-A-Lot
Was somethin’ at which I had a shot … so …
Wife fixed the hinge
Went ice-fishin’ – in my NEW truck,
With my pals, Ted and Buck … but
Kitchen sinks’ pipes were froze …
But, they’d thaw-out I supposed … so …
Wife fixed the pipes
Amy Beth – my wife’s sis
Sure “fills-out” her bodice
So she and I took a drive
(Showed her how I “skin” dive!) … and …
Wife said nuthin’
When I came home from work today
Wife weren’t here – she’d gone away
Why she’s gone – I got no clue
Guess I spoiled ‘er through ‘n through
Lawyer’s gonna hurt me
