It’s that time again. No, not camp. But close. For the next few days we will be in Burnet, Texas, for the burial of Sam’s ashes. Internet and phone service are both sketchy at best. Non-existent at worst. But since we are with a group of our home group friends … I couldn’t let the opportunity slip by. It’s time for …
I’m a Nut!
I’m an acorn small and round
Lyin’ on the cold hard ground
Everyone walks over me
That is why I’m cracked you see
I’m a nut. I’m a nut. I’m a nut.
I’m a nut. I’m a nut.
Called myself on the telephone
Just to see if I was home.
Asked me out for a little date
Picked me up about half past eight
Took myself to the movie show
Stayed too late and said, “let’s go”
Grabbed my hand and led my out
Drove me home and gave a shout
Speaking of a forlorn shout
It is time to see Sam out
Gathered up ‘bout eight three-0
On to Burnet town we go
Ed and Jon left town early
Had to get out first, you see
Rob and Lauren, Cathy too
Said “We want to follow you!”
We missed Helen off the bat
Had to work, so that is that.
Searched for maps that showed the way
Go through Houston? Oh, nay! Nay!
Saw big Stevie Austin tall
Lauren asked, “Can we stop, y’all?”
Missed the Bucees, sorry there
Found a place in Who-knows-where”!
All those backroads soon dried up
Baby Buc-ees did show up
Saw some zebras near a rock
Emus albino - a flock!
In Greune Ed and Jon we found
Chicken fried steak did abound
Walked around and window shopped
Back into the cars we hopped.
Johnson City, Marble Falls
Burnet finally heard our calls
Good thing that it heard us then
No cell service from within
Only five stayed up from bed
First to sleep were Rob and Ed
Waiting up for Geran clan
Puzzle time for those who can
Me and Chris played Mom and Dad
Waited up for travel tads
When the Geran’s finally showed
Our long day came to a close.
Galatians 5:25 says, Since we live by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit.
Father, thank you for our safe trips. Be with the rest of the folks coming for the burial today. Amen.
