TEXAS (it's all big)

ups and downs
woes and whims
goods and bads  
shes and hims
went the ways  
in front of them

south and north
back and forth
round the bend  
turned on end  
went the ways  
in front of them

where's the paths
briars and grass
lead to trails
snips and snails
say it twice
sugared spice
...

Woes and Whims...

In this here
midway town
where's the road
that kids go down
