Awesome CAT Machine
So beautiful and so handsome
He’d catch any ladies eye
They hold their breath in wonder
This splendid amazing guy
He can work out in the blazing sun
And never break a sweat
If there’s a job that he can’t do
They’ve never found it yet
And from miles away, my friend
You can see from the naked eye
A plume of brown dust and dirt
That reaches for the sky
He astonishes every man and beast
For you just can’t get enough
To watch him work is a privilege
We love to see him do his stuff

Foss School Dedication
Banding together from the Indians
There was always a white-mans school
No matter what went on around them
Children were taught the golden rule
But of course as the time went on
More children were enrolled
In 1900 100 children attended
So many stories could be told
For now is the dedication
After all these years are past
So many folks gathered together
They are dedicated and steadfast
People have worked hard
To keep learning a priority
Throughout the difficult years at Foss
Even with white folks were a minority

Summertime Rain
There is nothing as refreshing
As a sweet summertime rain
After the cooling showers
Nothing is ever quite the same
Because nutrients fill the moisture
For flowers and crops as well
You can almost see them grow
After a summer downpour fell
The seeds sprout so much quicker
Flowers grow tall so very fast
Rain gives everything a boost
And of course it doesn’t last
Then the sun comes streaming out
And flowers lift their little heads
Color comes popping out as well
Yellows, oranges, blues and reds

My Ancestor’s Home
I took a trip across the ocean
To visit an old ancestral home
It’s fun go to places
Where family grew and roamed
Sheep shearing so fascinating
Was one of the things that I saw
Wet landscape after a rainstorm
Was truly a beautiful draw
It was quite an interesting operation
To see the gobs of fluffy wool fall
Ready to create the clothing
A process we don’t think of at all
The beautiful rustic rock walls
Lined up along the roads
Ah yes, I can imagine my family
In their ancient lovely abode

Chocolate Treats
Do you enjoy chocolate, my friend?
I know you know what I mean
Pure and lovely and sweet and thick
For chocolate is like a dream
Creamy and rich and succulent
Just melts right on your tongue
So many kinds to choose from
And you don’t have to choose just one
We can choose from delicious syrup
Poured on other delicacies
A dish of ice cream icy cold
Would be absolutely perfect for me
Or a piece of velvety chocolate
Take your time and let it go
It’ll melt right in your mouth
Oh, how I do really love it so

Aquarium Fun
Have you ever seen an aquarium
With fancy fish swimming around?
Well I saw the most wonderful
Aquarium that I’ve ever found
Every color you can imagine
You’d find in a fish tank were there
Beautiful background for those fish
Not a single thing was spared
The cat fish were so enormous
You could imagine them in a pan
Fryin’ up so crispy brown
So tasty they’d never be bland
But instead we just enjoyed
Watching these fish on display
Swimming ‘round and ‘round
I once even saw them in play

Roads We Travel
There are many roads we travel
And probably most we leave behind
We continue to walk ahead of us
New fresh roads we want to find
And sometimes we wonder
If we took the best road we could
If we could erase them and start over
We often think perhaps we would
Some roads we travel often though
Off and on throughout the years
They get worn and sad and weary
And we shed so many tears
But we try to put them behind us
And trudge bravely on ahead
Trying very heard to not look back
But find great new roads instead

God’s 4 Girls
They went on an excursion
To view a historic place
They studied with growing interest
As water sprayed their face
Their amazement continued to grow
As the water churned with force
And God’s 4 girls enjoyed
This delightful power source
It was a day unlike the usual
So very different from their own
Traveling ‘round to other places
Feeling free to visit and roam
For God's girls were awestruck
At the power at this water’s edge
Watching a huge manmade structure
While standing on a ledge

His Red Dirt Life
So many red dirt roads he’s traveled
Along his long red dirt life
Children born and raised with
His charming red dirt wife
A home was built and furnished
Upon his red dirt land
He’s done the very best he could
Always taking a red dirt stand
Red dirt roads that lead up to
A bridge to the other side
He tries to go right with the flow
Along life’s red dirt ride
And during that ride it seems
There are some pot holes in the road
But he just keep pluggin’ along you see
Just carrying his red dirt load

Red Dirt Moments
So many red dirt moments
Are in my every day
A wonderful part of my life
It’s where I will always stay
Hollowed out in red dirt
Might be a refreshing pond
Surrounded by swishing trees
It’s a place where I’m so fond
I see a farmhouse nestled
Amongst the red dirt land
Wheat fields ripe and ready
So proud of the way it stands
A Mail Pouch barn is unique
Takes us back in time
Another Red Dirt Moment
Such precious ones I find
