The Vine That Ate The South.

Terrible and green
Terrible and green
Veined and waxed and growing it seems
It looks to be lounging
Out in the sun
But this vine can grow faster
Than any child can run

Choking the land
Choking the land
Sucking up water
Leaving there sand
Sustained by the creatures
It chokes up and spits out
And you won't believe what Mr. Vickers found out

Climbing on high
Climbing on high
Tendrils and leaves
Reaching up to the sky
As a green shadow swoops down
And the day seems done
The vine that ate the South climbs
With designs on the sun
