Half an inch of water....

[Festivus Miracle]

All this mess reminds me of a some great lyrics written many years ago. This is a serious virus but we all need some some sun to come through the window:

I was sitting in the bathtub, counting my toes,
When the radiator broke, water all froze,
I got stuck in the ice without my clothes,
Naked as the eyes of a clown.

I was crying ice cubes, hoping I'd croak,
When the sun come through the window, the ice all broke,
I stood up and laughed, thought it was a joke.
That's the way that world goes 'round.

That's the way that world goes 'round,
You're up one day, the next your down,
It's a half an inch of water and you think you're going to drown,
That's the way that world goes 'round.

Prine could also write

I don't want the virus,cause I might croak
This damn thing it sure ain't a joke
I'm stayin' inside watchin Gunsmoke
Paladin,,Maverick and the other cowpokes
That's the way that my world goes round

I’ve got a list of things a mile long I need to be doing on the farm and around the house. But I got the yard mowed yesterday and the wife is working in the nursing home, so I think I’ll go drown a worm after while. Work will be there tomorrow.

Tried fishing over in Cumberland County once.......baited hook with a big nightcrawler threw it out there........damn worm started doing the back stroke whooped a catfish and made it carry him back to the bank and let him off the hook

We got some souped up worms down here.

Just heard the greatest Barney Fife line: "Wink is as good as a nod to a blind mule."

Just seemed fitting here.

The great songwriter John Prine who wrote this is very ill with Corona Virus 19, he's hospitalized in Nashville

Dear Abby: There's gonna be a John Prine death thread here before long. I'll post something stupid, but I ain't gonna like it.

Prine has been the greatest songwriter of impending doom or day to day momentary troubles in a whimsical way. I hope he pulls through but he has terrible underlying issues.
