Old dark ruby coats his throat
Sharpens up her fountain pen
Lays ink down along the table
Plaintive, brickyard textbook line
Bang up, wave the weaver's wand
Day is rain so watch things grow
Light pours through her window
Tack will need a hefty breeze
Here's a loud that turns to wail
Holding history blown to hell
He'll nod off and she will sing
He won't dream while she won't sew
Not as long as she is able
The next day holds a smell to it
Marches into each cold room
Preaches loud as elder ears
