If I Were A Rich Man
You frivolous rich folk can keep your hummers, flat-screen televisions and Cayman Island condos.
If I win the lottery, I’m putting in an underground water line to the barn.
It’s -5 degrees windchill.
The hose is frozen solid.
The frost-free water spigot is a hundred yards from the barn.
The animals are drinking about 70 gallons of water a day. And about 10 gallons is thrown out as I chip off the ice twice a day.
Two five gallon buckets weigh about 80 pounds.
The frost-free water spigot is a hundred yards from the barn.
Seven trips carrying 80 pounds.
It’s -5 degrees windchill.
Screw your Gucci loafers, fancy jewelry, season tickets and subzero appliances. Give me water in the barn!
