The Devil's Beating His Wife
by Joe CramerThis hard afternoon rain beats down
In hot rural Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
The sky simply opens up and does drown
All of this parched red baked southern clay.
The devil's beating his wife
Is what we always used to say,
When the hot sun was shining down
And the rain pours during the day. 09/23/2009 Author's Note: ... from an old Southern expression of my youth.....
