Kentucky Blues

Mama, she ain't doin' well

Can hardly ring the dinner bell.

Papa's in the churchyard now

Brother has to milk the cow.

Farmin's hard but we get to it

Life is hard but we get through it

Sister she done had a date

Boy brought her home a l'il too late

Nine months later had a baby

they're in trouble.   Don't mean maybe.

Farmin's hard but we get to it.

Life is hard but we get through it.

The flood well it took most our crops

We're brewin' with the neighbors' hops.

Tax man wants to take the farm.

Hope he don't come to no harm.

Farmin's hard but we get to it.

Life is hard but we get through it.

Farmin's hard but we get to it.

Life is hard, but we get through it.

A Wife's Work v2.0

I wrote the following pretty much off the cuff, following the "Monday's Child"-type poem style.  As my poem was posted to some marriage link-ups, however, my version is about being a wife.  One of the comments I had was that I should turn it into a graphic and possibly Pin It.

So I did that, using my pre-school  Photoshop skills.  Any tips for improvement would be greatly appreciated.  In the meantime, here it is:

Oh, BTW, last year I posted a total of 22 times to this blog.  This post represents my 23rd post in the month of January!  Yay me!  And a million thank yous to the bloggers and link-ups who have made that possible.

Matrimonial Monday - A Wife's Work

   

Sunday's wife loves the Lord.

Monday's wife uses the ironing board.

Tuesday wife takes care of her man.

Wednesday's wife learns to can.

Thursday's wife teaches her son.

Friday's wife haves some fun!

Saturday's wife helps a friend.

I Thank God that a wife's work will never end!
