HIKE
As I hike merrily down the lane
I thank the Lord for such good rain
Cold and wet though it may seem
It turns the landscape blue and green!
And while I go with stick in hand
I pretend to lead some joyful band
Til I might reach both home and hearth
And rescue dogs in yonder garth
As I hike merrily down the lane
I wish I might do this again
