My Barn

Now on with my yarn About living in a barn Paying rent While living in a tent A wood stove I ordered and got Hopefully it keeps this barn nice and hot Gathered my brother Another son of my mother Has special needs Not one of the bad seeds But another mouth the universe feeds Now my dog and I and he Makes three Solar panels to give us light But only when the sun is bright A wood stove to cook And be warm while I read a book Ya'all should come by and take a look Living in this old barn And that is the topic of this yarn You can hear my dogs happy woof Saying thank you for the roof Easier than living in the wild Not many there so meek and mild Everyone seemed to want to take A living is hard to make I never ask no one for a thing Surviving on only what I bring Looking for somewhere to stay Each new day That is a hard way Now back to my yarn About living in a barn Sitting next to this fire This is all I desire Making my ol harmonica sing Making this barn ring Such a beautiful sound Think my happy I have found Least till something better comes around Going to live the season here For once a happy tear A place to finish out the winter year Too cold for spiders or any snake Took a lot of work with a rake Putting more wood in the fire I sit back and admire My nice clean dirty floor Least it has a solid door .....who could ask for more.....
