Sold all we had
And bought a train
“Time to live
Let’s not be lazy
We’ll fix it up
I’m not insane”
The plumber came
He shook his head
Electrician laughed
It was funny
But dad left us
10 Million bucks
And mom
Had lots of money
People came
From far and near
They heard about
Our homestead
Mom even hired
A landscape guy
So we could have
A fine spread
A water garden in the back
And flowers in a row
She had them build a music stage
So we could have some shows
When our home was finished
The county turned out that day
We had a celebration
Around our house…….The Train.
And dad was looking at us
I’m sure he shook his head
“This woman I married was crazy
I’m glad that I am dead!”
