couldn't resist writing about my goat

Curley,

Reckon my name is . Curley, at least that’s what he wrote,
Never had a name before, everybody called me goat,

But here I got this guy’s needling me, Boy does that thing hurt,
Says if I don’t come out of it, he’s covering me with dirt.

Said I needed medicine or my end was gittin near,
Gave me sugar water. Should a brought me a beer,

I tell you it’s a drag, trying to please this guy,
But I guess maybe some day maybe I’ll know why,

Here he comes again, maybe he’ll let me out,
This ol’horse trailer is something , I gotta tell you all about,

It stinks like goat and takes my breath away,
I sure wish that it would smell like pretty new moan hay,

But No ! The floor is wet from too much old goat pee,
And other stuff that’s in here too, that he blames on me,

I gotta remind him, I ain’t designed like you; You know ,
Where I can write my initials in the pretty banks of snow,

My drain is on the bottom and down there in the middle,
So I Don’t have a lotta say on just where I piddle,

Halleluiah ! He’s come to let me, go outside to breathe,
One more breath and I’ll be just as bad as that stuff I leave,

Wonder if he’s gonna hook me to that damn ol’cement bucket’
I’d sure like to tell him where he should a stuck it,

I gotta drag that sucker all over this stinking lot
Won’t put me with my buddies, they might git just what I got

They’re too mean anyway and Bully me around
I think they’re all just jealous, because I can walk around,

They don’t know it ain’t all just peaches, honey and cream,
But the leaves on the ladies roses taste a lot like great ice cream,

I sorta slip that way each day, to sneek a leaf or two,
I hide behind the cherry tree where the good ones grew

But ! You don’t know the wrath this lady can emit,
I’ve really gotta be careful and full time try to watch it;

Her laughing smile is really so much better ,
When I pass the roses up and really don’t upset her,

Oops, it’s gittin sundown , I think I heard him shout,
Git back in that trailer ! Thank God he cleaned it out,

Sometimes I really know I’m lucky, Thinks I’m wrapped around the finger of this Jerk
He can’t eat good red meat and the Bar_B Que don’t work !
