Usin’ Wisdom
Virginia Salter

loaded up my common sense
threw vanity aside
picked up my big straw hat
‘norder to save my hide

went for a walk
lookin’ like ol’ Granny Gus
came back home a weavin’
hair a great big muss

but at least my scalp is safe from sun
beneath my thinnin’ hair
so I’ll ferget about them people
laughin’ when they stare
