Requisite



Tough as boiled leather
mean as a three dollar bill
catching rattlesnake
is fun for him
shoveling manure is a thrill
one hardboiled son of b$tch
real hard to peel
he's the
red eyed stranger
to him a blizzard is chill
won't wear a coat in snow
uses barbed wire to hold his pants
went to a hoe down
and asked an elk to dance
drink his milk daily
straight out of the uutter
changed a tire with his bare hands
used his thumb to hold up the rubber
told me he aint secular
he was borderlined sacred
said the naga viper was mild
but learned to fake it
stirs his coffee with
a wrench
and eats biscuits with a spoon
thinks the sky crys
and has an affair with moon
puts hiw steaks in his boots
and says it a cajuin microwave
when the running herd runs by
he stands and waves
said three quarters
means a bill
it much more than he gave
