Just Grab A New Hoe

I was never one to worry about broken things
everything wears out in time if used well.
A product of a throw away society I guess.
I learned to make do or do without
hard times were familiar ground I plowed
and if the rocks broke the plow
I never fretted the loss, just grabbed a new hoe.

If the sun didn’t shine I figured I needed the rain.
When the storms came I never hid.
I waited until it passed, it always did.
Didn’t matter if the house blew down
I wasn’t one to stay long anyway.

I was never one to cry over soured milk
never cared for the taste of milk.
My glass half full was enough to get me by,
filled too full I always spilled it
and I never like to waste a drop of anything.

Growing up without makes you thrifty
so I’ll use it up or do without
and never throw it away
until there is nothing left.
I think this philosophy applies to life
I’ll use it up, wear it out
and above all
make do with less
and still be
richer than most.

Some times you remind me of Hank Williams Sr.

Have you ever listened to Luke The Drifter?

My crop it rotted - in the ground
I asked for another loan but the banker turned me down
But - we're still a-livin' and we're prayin' for better days
So - after all, ever'thing's in purty good shape."

Soul mates? Nah. But this sounds so familiar

"I learned to make do or do without"

story of my life.

"I waited until it passed, it always did"

Could quote the whole piece. Darn good writing.

Looking forward to more posts.

love lots

I'm glad the hoe had an e! (trying to be funny here)

Loved this. Good sentiments, good wisdom, and all too flippin' true.

Yup, let's all grab a new hoe, we're probably gonna need it.

Thanks for the read I enjoyed.

LMAO, if a Ho was available I'd grab her before the hoe, that's for damn sure. Thank you for the uplifting comment my friend. "C"
