Ol Yankees
We ol’ Yankees ain’t much for technology
much preferring handed down ingenuity.
Like the cheapest way to rid your house free
of mice is to keep your cat starvin’ hungry.
As for savin’ money, water, and electricity,
you’ll appreciate the extra “facility”
(called it a shed for storing garden tools
if you’re a rare Yankee with scruples)
for when that modern toilet so-called
is occupied or is annoyingly stalled
and a quick dash (forget the weather outside)
is better than hesitating or mortified!
