The Desert

Did ya ever get to see a javelina It happened to me once late at night I was walking with my pup When one jumped out of the mud He wasn't alone, they chased us home, what a fright But we got to see a javelina It is sunny you bet The starry nights are better yet But you never know what else you'll get in the desert What else you'll get in the desert Have you ever been attacked by a cactus It happened to me not long ago I was hiking with my dog When she sniffed her way headlong into a cholla It caught hold of her nose We were attacked by a cactus Have ya ever heard a lonely coyote It happened as the sun set in the west I was taking out the trash When I saw a shadow make a dash I heard "ah-ooh" and then I knew I had met A very lonely coyote ©?2006 Vicki McCrone
