The Tule fog is bearing down
Obscuring the view in our town
For Stockton, in the San Joaquin Valley
heading into winter can be very cold
To drive on the freeway in the fog
One would have to be awfully bold
The Tule fog can be so thick
you can cut it with a knife
To drive in it
you actually risk your life
The rains may help
if it showered on us all day
But once it stops and it gets cold
you know fog is on the way
When winter comes I wish for daily rain
so that I can see all around
There's nothing more I hate
than being fog bound
