What the heck. I’ll post the answers to my unanswered country songs from post 136: > [@Spoons](#): > > (a) The diminutive of Charles has a timepiece of atomic number 79. It does not resemble a great deal, after 10950 or so days of operating a large motor vehicle to and from various places along the inter-city highway. _Charlie’s got a gold watch, don’t seem like a whole lot, after thirty years of driving up and down the interstate._ Kathy Mattea, “18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses.” > [@](#): > > (c) The study of numbers and necessary operations was not mine to enjoy; likewise, the study of history eluded me. A young lady of a certain name was chosen to present a speech at our convocation. I was the key player on the squad that played the game that was derived from English rugby belonging to our school; she was the cerebral student who wore spectacles trimmed with a keritaneous substance. _I was lousy at math, a failed historian; Carlene was the valedictorian; I was the quarterback in the back of the classes; she was the whiz kid in horned rim glasses._ Phil Vassar, “Carlene.” > [@](#): > > (d) I arose in the antemeridian hours of this day and clumsily made my way out of my place of repose. I reviewed a page of my daily printed information source, which would inform me of my astrological sign’s fortunes. I quickly found my future, but my ocular organs nearly leapt out of my cranium when the printed text informed me that the astrological forces would not be kind to me today and that I should return to my place of repose. _Well I woke up this morning, stumbled out of my rack; I opened up the paper to the page in the back; it only took a minute for my finger to find; my daily dose of destiny, under my sign; my eyes just about popped out of my head; it said “the stars are stacked against you girl, get back in bed.”_ Mary Chapin Carpenter, “I Feel Lucky.” Guess I won’t try “Canines of an advanced age, young specimens of the species _homo sapiens_, and a fermented beverage made from a fruit whose Linnean classification is _citrullus lanatus_.” IOW, “Old Dogs, Children, and Watermelon Wine,” by Tom T.
