Most of Hillary’s tales are pure furphy
Hidden truths, like those beds made by Murphy
Deceiving the nation
With her phony foundation
While Goldman Sachs elevates her fee

As America’s morals atropy
And liberals confuse biology
Where we pee
Or who’s a she
Gets based on a sick Furphy

Furphy — Murphy’s Law applied to typographical errors.

Furphy’s Law is that anything that can go wrong at the annual Furby convention (in Pittsburgh), will.

We lost one of our original chickens this week. She’d been sickly for more than 8 months. RIP Dixie Chicken.

I am sad about the passing of Guy Clark and have been listening to his music along with some Jerry Jeff and I am homesick for Texas.

Those guys(Clark, Van Zandt) lived tragic lives but their music is so soothing to my soul.

How many chickens do you have now? We have four. And that seems like enough. Especially when we’re not even supposed to have them in our neighborhood. I just wish they were quieter after they lay their eggs.
