The recruiter said
come on down
economy’s cheaper
abundance of work
plenty good living
In this Texas town

Made the move
found the hype
mostly true
good paying job
large home bought
for a California song
near everything sought
‘cept a few thing are wrong

It’s hotter than hell
half of the year
humidity thick
as an elephant’s rear
If vegetable gardening
best be growing potatoes
else the Sun will cook you
some fried green tomatoes

Hurricanes t’was said
rarely reached the vicinity
In sixteen years
been through two such rarities
so-called hundred-year-storms
time to change that proximity
flood waters rise
high winds fell trees
over one hundred lives lost
In a horrible freeze
yet the powers-that-be
all arm-chair denialists
urge disbelief
In climate change fallacies

If Michelin rated states by weather
our’s would merit, dare I say
one single lone star
nothing better
