I Do My Writing in the Wal-Mart Parking Lot. I do my writing in the Wal-Mart parking lot. My wife likes to shop, I’d really - - -rather not. She’ll stay inside ‘til she’s ready to drop. I sit in the car, watchin’ the folks come ‘n go, the flow never stops. Duck! Weave! Shift! And Hide! Duck! Weave! Shift! And Hide! ‘Tis the After Thanksgiving Christmas Shopping Crush! Spread your elbows, protect your toes. The mad rush is on, its Stampede Time! At Wal-Mart, Sears, K-Mart, Woolworth’s, and Target. Rain Washes The Tears Away I wait for days with big heavy drops, That run streaming down my face. My hot salty tears hide easily in the cold, … cold flood. I walk in the rain when I want to remember you. Hard Tack, Old Charlie, Jake, and Me Just Old Charlie, Jake, ten cut-plug chaw, eighty dry beans, a hard-headed herd of long-horn cattle, and me. Two gallons of raw, red-eye whiskey. One for snakebite, and one for cutting’ the dust. Water can be hard to find, and firewood’s mighty scarce on the short grass prairie. Spring’s wild flower carpets and Fall bottom colors are a cowboy’s delight. The sun’s fire hot come Summer, and in Winter it is not. Song: Rain Washes The Tears Away The sounds of rain drops on my roof brought this poem (lyrics) to me. I can't sing, or compose music, so the next best thing is to share a stream of words that evoke emotion and thought with the world.
