What, Me Worry?
When I was a little one my Dad would pick up his guitar and play me the Hank Williams tune “Everything’s Ok”

Last night I thought of this song and it inspired me to write the following:
WHAT ME WORRY?
Organic pricing concerns
Still below chemotherapy
Pure but pompous
My mind starts to atrophy
Hay prices have doubled
What are we to feed
Without a bull
Our Cows won’t breed
Lambs are popping
30 of five hundred so far
Feeding them thru winter
Sure will be hard
Hawks been eating chickens
When they get out
Guard dog watching
Had egg on his snout
Weather turning colder
Winter’s on its way
With the drought grass stopped growing
We didn’t make any hay
Turkeys getting big
Gorging themselves now
Orders rolling in
But we have lots more to sell
Customer just complained
Beef Ribs too short
All I could think to say
He needed a longer fork
With thirty five pages
All needing to be signed
Organic Inspection went well
Just lost my mind
Our main write up
Was no complaint log
Its as if Mr. Short Ribs
Was sent to us from God
Billy goats are following
The Nannies all round
Making crazy noises
Though none in estrus can be found
That’s cause the Nannies
Are now twice the size
From the Billies last go round
Makes you roll your eyes
Both wells went dry
The new one drilled no water came forth
Four hundred feet down
Nothing but dry earth
Hauling water from town
Cost enough to make you cry
Five thousand gallons per week
An ocean by the time I die
When half the markets shut down
I let most of the help go
The ones I kept around
Half the time, don’t show
With bad home mortgage loans
The local bank almost went bust
Leaves you to often wonder
Who all you can trust
Things always go right
Things always go wrong
I have been keeping track
So I could write this song
