The devil wanted a place on earth Sort of a summer home A place to spend his vacation Whenever he wanted to roam. So he picked out The devil wanted a place on earth Sort of a summer home A place to spend his vacation Whenever he wanted to roam. So he picked out Texas A place both wretched and rough Where the climate was to his liking And the cowboys hardened and tough.
He dried up the streams in the canyons And ordered no rain to fall He dried up the lakes in the valleys Then baked and scorched it all.
Then over his barren country He transplanted shrubs from hell. The cactus, thistle and prickly pear The climate suited them well. |
|  | Now the home was much to his liking But animal life, he had none. So he created crawling creatures That all mankind would shun.
First he made the rattlesnake With it's forked poisonous tongue. Taught it to strike and rattle And how to swallow it's young.
Then he made scorpions and lizards And the ugly old horned toad. He placed spiders of every description Under rocks by the side of the road.
Then he ordered the sun to shine hotter, Hotter and hotter still. Until even the cactus wilted And the old horned lizard took ill. |
Then he gazed on his earthly kingdom As any creator would He chuckled a little up his sleeve And admitted that it was good.
'Twas summer now and Satan lay By a prickly pear to rest. The sweat rolled off his swarthy brow So he took off his coat and vest.
"By Golly," he finally panted, "I did my job too well, I'm going back to where I came from, Texas is hotter than Hell." | | |

Just FYI on fire ants. Immediately soak your feet (hands, ankles, etc.) in undiluted household bleach for a couple of minutes. You won't even have to repeat like you do with the hot water. | hunterV Wed Jan 17, 2007 19:50 UTC
