THE TRUEST DEFINITION OF RESTRAINT

Folder: 
JOURNAL#7

not calling an absolute heathen a heathen

when he's being his heathen self most

not calling a Montana Marlboro Man a moron

when he preaches that cattle men don't boast

breaching nary a promise of virtuous patience

when tea totalers start to toast

biting a Mountaineer tongue when a Buckeye swears that

West Virginia is on the west coast

(hence the name!)

that's why its WEST Virginia

yeah, just like Ghost writers write for shy ghosts

(I suppose!)

in my mad opinionated mind there is no reason to doubt

that with this sub species to the intellectual

human (wo)man we can indeed happily live without

and about it I will damn near shout!!!!!!!!.......
