bigfoot is fun

21JUN25

cowboy bigfoot

once you realize
the unknown is bigger
it opens your eyes
and pulls a trigger

creativity is a gun
a hoot to shoot
it is fun
scoot in it's boot

wearing them is freeing
put on some spurs
think about a being
that always blurs

the mystical unlocks
your spirit soars
listen to a jukebox
thru swinging doors

do not fear
it's the right path 2 be on
it is clear
lit by bright neon

mustache will need trimmin
a little in your flashy ride
you'll like your women
a little on the trashy side

go find the fun
that you are owed
the accelerator gun
on the open road

that's all good
and well put
but you could
just study bigfoot

what he's done
study his example
think your fun
will be more than ample

I want to make sure and explain the women a little on the trashy side line. That is from a country music song titled “I Like My Women a Little On the Trashy Side.” It was sung by Jerry Jeff Walker in 1989 and Confederate Railroad in 1993. There is a video on you tube of Confederate Railroad doing the song and it is pretty hilarious. Supposedly Jerry Jeff Walker was in a bar and heard a bartender perform the song and asked him to come to his room and teach it to him. But I want to make it clear that I am not really comfortable labeling people as trashy or judging a book by its cover. But in this situation it is pretty hilarious. I mean the video and song not my poem. Still if anyone is offended or put off by it as Kurt Cobain would say “All Apologies.”

Today is the first time that I have typed in a date on a blog post. WordPress puts a date on the blog post. You can only see it if you are on a computer and you click on the individual post and it pops up to fill the screen. Usually you cannot see the date if you leave the posts in a 3 column wide view. And I don’t think you can see it on a mobile device.

I am still working on getting the video edited. Once I get this first one on the blog it will have established a path that will be much easier to travel the next time. To me this video is almost like a bulldozer clearing a path. And I’m not sure bigfoot would like that imagery. I hope to have the new menu in place by the beginning of July.

Enjoy your Saturday. Flash your smile!
