Just took a little stroll to our back yard
Putting water in the bathtub for all who come
Dumping the coffee grounds, I took a stroll
West of the house to the front I roamed.
In the bluebird bath bowl was one lonely leaf
With water turned on, I got my shirt wet
Water was warm at first then it turned cold
Continuing on I'll get that leaf, I bet.
Rinsing the bowl, I dumped it out
Accidentally dumping water on my shoes
Should I really call it a day and quit?
Seems as tho that's the way my luck goes.
I really did get that chore done
Roamed around the East side of the house
The day was sunny and nice outside, but I went
Back in the house where it was quiet as a mouse.
Pulled off my shirt, into Mr. G. E. Drier
Was too wet to keep on wearing
I'm still coughing and all that stuff
Going to Queen's Tea tomorrow, I've got to be caring.

They may have to import some roses for the affairs
Rosebuds and cold nites, a pretty rose does not make.
Should Saturday's Parade bring rains as shown?
Hope they have slickers for goodness sake.
Would be a shame for them to get wet
Gemstone and rhinestone dresses so pretty
I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope
For on TV, the parade I'll see.
With you being gone, there is no clicking of the keys
I think Mr. Dell is a bit lonesome today
You do your job, get it done right
When you come home, I'll spend your pay.
Now son, it's like I've always said
Just do you best or not at all
You'll find it will not be so hard
Then thru life, you will prevail.
