Texas Drought

Texas Drought

Haven’t had much rainfall here,
Not these past three years.
Most folks are being doubtful
Many crying tears

The cattle’s been auctioned off,
No grass they could eat.
The fields are plowed and harrowed
Too dry to drill wheat.

Not many cowboys needed,
No ranch work to do.
Many horses to water,
Clouds come, but too few.

Remember the fifties drought,
Lasted seven years!
If this one lasts near that long,
Dust will be our tears.

Airplanes fly to “seed” the clouds,
Many feel in vain.
Raindrops fall but just false hope,
Signs read “Pray for Rain”
