Gone

You’ve heard the song “The Thrill is Gone,“ well for me it is the wood.
In summer heat with blue jeans, gloves and sweat shirt there I stood.
In left hand a cup of ice water, the trusty hose in my right.
I watch intently, warily as the bare ground comes into sight.

I bless my “Turbo Burner” and my family for having made it.
It does the job, with little smoke, working quickly when it’s lit.
But if I see another stick of wood within the next half year.
I warn you friend, it is for my back and sanity that I fear.

PIG IN MY YARD

You heard Jackson Browne sing the laments of cocaine,
But my tale of woe is the use of propane.
I’m not knocking the product, four years now I’ve used it.
The pig has sat in my yard and I’ve never abused it.

This born and bred “city gal” prefers good old natural gas.
With no pipeline the only kind that’s natural comes out my ass.
But at the end of the tunnel, a light I can see
Good old CE is here to save my life, for a fee.

Eight thousand big ones is all that it’ll cost,
And if I can’t pay it then my firstborn is lost.
Yes my dear friends I used him as collateral.
His wife is upset, but that is quite natural.

Soon I won’t have to pick up the phone,
Call up the bank and get a new loan.
When I need heat I’ll just turn up the dial.
And sit watching it snow with a great big smile.
