Nippy

Your typical Texan farmer
Would never attempt to harm her
But it is so cold
And they are so old
They need to feel her handwarmer

don't know who "her" is, but it's a fun poem. As for the joy reference you told me: Man is that he might have joy, I could almost swear that is an expression I heard growing up in the Mormon faith!!

You are right! An internet search reveals it comes from the Book of Mormon 02 Nephi 2.25. My mother-in-law was a Spiritualist, but it did tickle her fance to invite missionaries in for a cup of coffee. Seems like they had fun, too! Aloha!
