    A poem i wrote tonight

    Dry It’s been dry. And for more than just a spell. I’ve been worried and pretty nervous, And my wife can always tell, Cause my smile takes some time off, While my frown works overtime. My soul gets hot and dusty And my eyes kinda lose their shine. It’s been dry. What grass we have is brown...
