Mike Capron’s Tales of Texas

Wilbur and Ethel were expecting their first grandchild

But he was out brandin’ and she was teachin’ while

Their grown kids were sweatin’ the really hard things

Like a nursery, doctor bills, and labor pains.

As the birth time grew near, the hope they had

Was for a weekend birth so they could both be glad.

Actually, Ethel wanted to be there in the worst way

But Wilbur never sweated the small stuff, anyway.
