“There Was No Doubt,”
by Marial Awendit
There was no doubt
He was the mad man
Of our town,
The only one declared.
He spread his rough hands
To soldiers for tomato seeds.
He was our own mad man; could not be taken
From us.
He decorated his hair with weed leaves
But it was from him we learned
To grow hybrid tomatoes,
Not the Agricultural Organization.
Woo! How his tomatoes were tasty
And sane!
“I Wound Easy”
by Dolly Parton
You're late again tonight and I know the reason why
You're out with someone else while I sit home and cry
But I'll just wait right here for you cause I know your new love won't last
I wound easy but I heal fast
This isn't the first time your heart has gone astray
You have no resistance when temptation comes your way
But I'll forgive you this time like I've always done in the past
I wound easy but I heal fast
You know that I love you more than anything
And you know that I'll forgive you for causing me this pain
Oh, tonight my heart is breaking but I know this hurt won't last
I wound easy but I heal fast.
