Alright, this might be the last one . .

Jeffery the Sandman

Was a-climbing up a dune

With a backpack

That weighed 30lbs

Oh, thank god it wasn't June

 

Jeffery the sandman

Thinks that all of you should know

I didn't start that way

but by the end of day

I was sand from head to toe

 

There must have been some magic

In the silica out there

Shooting from my knees

Then the lightest breeze

And the sand stuck in my hair*

 

Jeffery the sandman

Sure began to get the blues

Shooting was sublime

But took so much time

To empty sand out of my shoes

 

*Yes, to the surprise of some, I do in fact still have some hair on my head. Ironically, it was just enough to provide the grains of sand some shelter. Or at least it appeared that way, judging by how many decided to stay there.
