Everybody just wants to go home,
Especially when you're sick.
Sometimes it's a long way,
The roads aren't paved,
And to get to the road, there are lots of gates.

There's a difference between country  mice
And their city cousins.
Country mice know some gates are hard for women to open,
And that you've got to shut it back
So the cows don't get out,
And the horses.

They want out baaaaaaad.
I've had to face a charging horse
And hit it just right with my jutsu,
Knock it to the ground
And wallow with it down in the dust
While some fool fumbled with the gate.

I should have shut the gate,
And let him fumble with the horse.

But like I say,
Everybody just wants to go home,
Whatever that is.
