Texas Texas Lone Star State how I wonder where’s the rain/ Fluffy clouds and rain drops score/ In the autumn I hope for more.

Texas Texas Lone  Star State how I wonder where’s the rain.

 

This is my attempt at Saturday Centus in which we had to create our own lyrics to the tune of  Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with no more than 36 words. As you can see I am no writer of songs!

QUESTION: What did you come up with?

    Hoping y’all get some rain.

    Here’s my attempt at a Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star variation:

    When your kids have left the nest
    Grandkids, grandkids are the best.
    ‘Tho they’re little just awhile
    All their antics make you smile.
    When your kids have left the nest
    Grandkids, grandkids are the best.
