Unless you’re an armadillo in Texas,
the middle of the road’s the
best way to go.
Ya got plenty’a room to wriggle.
to the left, to the right…
plenty of time to hem and quibble,
haw or giggle….
Say a strong wind rises,
pushes you to the left or to the right.
Don’t worry!
Don’t fight!
J U S T D R I F T….
(You can always sneak back under cover of night.)
Say ya see an 18-wheeler comin’ fast
on the road behind ya
loaded with cattle
soon to be steaks!
Don’t stand to do battle!
That’s a mistake.
You know what it takes….
Just move over.
That white broken line
down the center of the highway
is merely suggestions
for doin’ it your way.
And if you happen upon
the bloody, torn-body, scaley remains
of that stubborn armadillo
on some West-Texas by-way,
Pull over!
Set down somewheres ,
where ever you will,
build a smokey musket fire,
fry ’em up to your hearts desire.
Enjoy!
Road kill,
so I’ve been told,
tastes just like
chicken
