Every Excuse

I said it and at
and wondered where was that

I said if and but
seeing I was in a rut

I stumbled and mumbled
trying to be dignified
I jingled and jangled
I got no dough
just spurs to roll

I finally stood up straight
saying where's the dead freight

I begin to strut
my boots were scuffed
but I was rough
steel toes
kicked up some shit

I got a horse
of course

He had a serious gait
but never went straight
so I gave him a kick
rolled my spurs
on his ass

I got bucked off
soared aloft

When I landed
the stars did spin
damned old horse ran off
with my grub
I was wearin thin

I was born skinny
I heard a whinny

Now please excuse me
but I got to be free
just like that old nag
I try and ride
he can't deny

even though he used every excuse

Epiphany by Gary Stephens

“We’re going to use nine megaton warheads in space and we’re not sure they’re large enough to be effective. Why would you even consider using kiloton-range surface-to-air warheads as back-up?” The answer was succinct. “Because they’re all we have.”
