![It’s damn dry
in Texas this year Y’all
It was summer in spring
and it’s still summer in fall
Big old lakes are all piss-puddle small
and the cows are eatin’ Bar-B-Q grass
the ones that are eatin’ at all
A million trees and a thousand homes
burned up in Bastrop just like dry sticks
But the stars are gathering over in Austin
Willie and George and the Dixie Chicks
Neighbors who know and care how they feel
Lovett and friends and Asleep at the Wheel
So let’s all chip in and do what we do
I’ll write a poem, what about you?](https://i0.wp.com/www.neilmeili.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Fire-Relief-Concert-in-Austin.jpg?resize=600%2C600&ssl=1)

TIMMY’S DOWN THE WELL
Timmy’s down the well
or in the words of Lassie
woof woof woof arf arf woof
Timmy’s down the well
Lay down your tools
set aside your quarrels
everyone come running
Timmy’s down the well
There’s nothing like
a big bellied Biafran baby
to open hearts and wallets
Nothing like a crooked smile
to get us on The Passion train
It’s happening again in Haiti
the smallest with the least
are calling to our largest best
Sometimes it takes a child
to raise a village
