Springtime in the Rockies

There are ripe strawberries in my garden,

My corns nearly two foot high.

but I'm Alberta bound this weekend

I shake my head and wonder why.

It's flooding down in Pincher Creek,

there's a foot of Snow in the old Crows Nest.

And here I am heading East,

While all the geese are flying West!

I packed my slicker and my gumboots,

In the morning I'll be gone.

After I change the oil in my ol' pickup

and put my winter tires back on!
