Too Hot For May
I wanted to plant a garden that day
Found out it was way too hot for May
I can't believe the toil and sweat
I am totally soaking wet
Then comes June its hotter still
But then I decided to plant some dill
Then one night I watered the beans
I cooked and ate them in my dreams
That is the only way that they got cooked
The deer had beans and peppers but squash forsook
As I stood and felt faint of heart
I knew that for supper we could only have a tart
I wondered how fast that deer had run
To the creek to cool his tongue
For he had eaten the Jalapeno and Cheyenne without a bun
I could wish him harm but I won't just turn on the fire alarm
