Have more Chili
Copyright Alice E. Steimle - 2003
Now that we're retired, I've improved the way I cook
I don't have to go digging for that book
Now Chili is the one thing I just love and adore
You'd better open the windows and every door

Now thinking I had everything right at my fingertips
I could almost taste it in my watering mouth and lips
Browning up the chopped meat, no onions can I add
Cowboy doesn't like them, and that makes me mad

Just about the time I needed the cumin, I had run out
Now that made me upset, you could almost hear my shout
I got into my trusty T-bird and raced to the store
I couldn't wait to get out, but I couldn't open the door
When I just about got there, I came to a red light
Looking in the mirror, I thought "Boy, what a sight!"
I want you to know I had one thing on my mind
I had to get that cumin fast; no time to be cute and kind

Finally I got home, and back to my chili that awaited me
I knew how to make it good and hot, all from memory
A dash of salt and pepper, chili pepper, onion, garlic, all a must
I had to get this finished, or surely I would bust

Finally it came to dinner time, as Cowboy and I sat down to eat
There came a knock at our door, the Avon lady I would greet
By the time I got back to the table, my chili had turned cold
Jeez, it's wicked when one must grow old
After all was said and done, thank God Cowboy went outside
As for me, I just wanted to run and hide
I must admit the chili turned out great, you can see
I prayed I'd fall asleept back, before Cowboy came in bed with me

Y'all know I love that man a lot, and I'll stick by him to the end
He's my companion, lover, supported and best friend
There isn't much I can't take, Lord, how great thou art
I just can't stand to be so close to him when Cowboy starts to f---
