went to Tejas and lived forever.
I never liked him;
Dallas is just too damn hot.
of a girl bathed in the woods,
returned a watcher's staring and frowned.
Venison's my favorite;
nobody likes a voyeur.
of a man out-worked a drill,
died after digging twelve feet to nine.
I never knew why he tried;
the steam drill won in the end.
