Smithereens

by David Knape
Where is this place
called smithereens?
could be in Texas
so it seems

The wind blows there
but I ain't keen
on being blown
to smithereens

Sounds like a place
that I once seen
but nothin's left
of smithereens

to tell the truth
(I must come clean)
I've been through hell
not smithereens.
