Let me tell you about my life
I been tumblin thru my days since I had to gather firewood for my pa. I put my attention on whoever the fairest woman is on the prairie or some big juicy steak on my plate. It's an easy life, tumbeelin', because every day you're lookin' at things from a different place. It's confusin' though cause half the time I don't know why I dream about the things I do, or how I ended up on some rocky ridge in the yellow belt majesty of the western region.
Tonight I had a fight with my squaw and she said she wasn't even fightin but we went up and down and back and forth all comin to the same conclusion that we felt the same as we do. If I saw things the way she do, I'd probably tumble to the next town and if she saw things the same way as I do, she'd probably float up into the next cloud. That's why it works so well I imagine. I been tumbeelin constant but it's good to know that there's a kettle of corn on the griddle first thing in the mornin', and I hope there always will be because I'm hongry for whatever she brings to the table.
I think I got me some tumbeelin to do, today tomorrow and next Tuesday when the rain may soak my face til my eyes ain't red. My life ain't perticularly smooth but I got long blonde hair and legs that are strong enough to pull a mule train. I be wonderin' where I might tumble when the crow hocks beans and keels over right in front of my old grey cannon. I'm tired as a busted truck but when you a tumbleweed, you don't stop for the railroad crossing.

Could it be ? No ...
This about chalks up all of my many tumbleweed moments and reminds me that I've too many of them to count. It's lonely ... so very lonely... but at least the sound of my own laughter gets me through.
If it is you ( you who would know who if it were you ) send me a sign or another bad joke and I will know, if it's not, then carry on with the sound of your deserted ghost town winds a' blowin' and please forgive my rather boorish intrusion.
