This was recited to me by an 11 year old niece at work yesterday - South Africa...
When the sky's as hot as a baking pot And the whole earth shrinks like a skin The Mopanie leaves clap And the eagle cries, the turtles snap and the Thorn trees scratch And the dry grass sings and sings.
On the crackling mud the crocodile smiles And the kudus snort in the dust And the zebras grunt And the jackals howl And the elephants trudge for another mile. The dry grass sings and sings.
But when lightning strikes and the clouds drop down And the whole earth drinks from the sky The wood dove purrs And the Fever trees sigh And the river rolls as heavy as blood The dry grass sings no more.
Remember the old days when ladies weren't allowed into bars and the legends surrounding like wives dashing in and grabbing the spouses by the ear, hauling them out?
I still do the eye thing he used to and some voice imitatation. He won't die.
Anyone ever saw "It's a Mad, Mad World"? Shelley Winters, Spencer Tracey (kicked the bucket repeatedly) Was a teenager and saw it three afternoons in a row.
