Out Of The Blue (Part 2)

The tea was good and piping hot, and it was Earl Grey

Warming up the kind stranger, as he thought of what to say

They needed answers, of how he got from there to here

So they could bring him back, and things would become clear

Then he noticed their computer, on the other side of the room

A television screen and typewriter, together, oh what he could assume

They asked him if he had one, he replied "yes, one of each"

The husband and wife puzzled, at the response of his speech

They asked him where he lived, so they could take him there

He looked around, and then got up from his chair

I guess I should be going, he thanked them for their hospitality

They told him not yet, the storm in the window, they still could see

He told them he worried for his cows, he had left outside

And said he was a farmer, with an added tone of pride

Surely in this kind of weather, their milk is likely froze

Why there might even be, icicles between their toes

The caring couple, reassured him all would be okay

And that there was nothing, that he could do today

He bowed his head, and clasped his hands to pray

And wondered just how long, this snow storm was going to stay

The couple also wondered, what they were going to do

When this kindly bearded stranger, showed up Out Of The Blue
