Yup! I run onto a feller the other day who come from the eastern part of the state, where they get lots of rain. I was saying how nice it was to get some moisture, even if it was snow and he was whining about there not being any moisture in it. I told him that this what we got for moisture and if he didn't like it, maybe he ought to move back where he come from!
I sure am gettin' cranky in my old age!
So I wrote this poem.
Whiners
Why is it that we always hear about
TV and moviestars who whine
they grumble about the papparazzi
the very people who make them shine
They cuss because folks are always intrudin’
wantin’ to know about their life
publishin’ stories and pictures of all their children
and which ones are cheatin’ on their wife
Them politicions, their just as bad
don’t want to answer, any of our questions
and they look so disgusted and dismayed at us
when we offer them any suggestions
Doctors complain when we hold them up
to a higher standard than most
they claim they ain’t really playin’ God
Tho’ bein’ smarter than us is their boast
Attorney’s seem to get plumb defensive
when we joke about one of their kind
But there’s a bit of truth in any humor
and an honest one seems hard to find
Yes, they’ve all sought out fame or fortune
yet they complain, when they’ve met their goal
spoiled brats, don’t want to take the good with the bad
like sinnin’ without hurtin’ your soul
I guess I shouldn’t let it bother me so much
I just get tired of a baby who pouts
like people who want to live and ranch around here
then complain about the winters and droughts
