Cat In the Corn



If you build it, a river will wash it away
If you want to rebuild it, a crisis will delay it

They used to all drink down the syrup
And now they prefer to put it in their cars

One company patents a multipurpose bean
One bean arouses the emotions of millions

There is a farmhouse with its miserable couple
And now here I am, the new cat in the corn
