Keep a-goin'!

[Loretta Ann]

Ef you strike a thorn or rose,
Keep a-goin'!
Ef it hails, or ef it snows,
Keep a-goin'!

'Tain't no use to sit an' whine,
When the fish ain't on yer line;
Bait yer hook an' keep a-tryin'-
Keep a-goin'!

When the weather kills yer crop,
Keep a-goin'!
When you tumble from the top,
Keep a-goin'!

S'pose you're out o' every dime,
Bein' broke ain't any crime;
Tell the world you're feelin' prime
Keep a-goin'!

When it looks like all is up,
Keep a-goin'!
Drain the sweetness from the cup,
Keep a-goin'!

See the wild birds on the wing,
Hear the bells that sweetly ring,
When you feel like singin' sing
Keep a-goin'!

Wow, Darlene! Is this something you wrote? If so, it's a helluva lot of fun! Congrats! I could hear music playing in my head as I read it (and I read it three or four times).

More, more, more, please!

Love,
CJ

Alas I don't have that kind of talent CJ.
Glad you like it. Will post more as I get more.

Hi all,

Darlene,

Okay. Cool. Hmmmm, have you ever tried to write poetry or lyrics? Your posts are always very well written, I find. You absolutely sure you don't have that kind of talent, Darlene? Put pen to paper and let the ink flow from your brain, girl. See what happens. You might surprise yourself.

Love,
CJ
