An Old Dirt Road and a Mountain Lion "abecedarian"?

Updated on August 6, 2019

I like to come at things from a different angle. Usually if we take some words and apply them to ourselves we can then apply to the world.

Ain't Saying That is The Road

Just My Road

Hiding in the dark of my office. Just came in from outside and I swear the boy and I watched the 102 degree and direct sun burn the wings off a fly. Probably just a mirage. So I in to the keyboard. A fan and I feel like the king of the hill, I am rich. I am listening to “Down in the Boondocks” I would declare I always set my set my sights on gals about two levels of society above. Lord have mercy on a gal who loves a boy from down in the boondocks.

So I got this lady I just adore and a man and another lady that trips my creative trigger and I get all of high on a mountain a mountain of love for words that some “big guy” must have sent down from that place of white puffy clouds where lightening and life come from.

A Ms. Verlie Burroughs wrote about it. A fine writer Ann Carr talked about it and then one of my heroes Jodah wrote one. I have been known to go fishing in a creek without a hook. I hopped in a boat down a rapid without a paddle once. They claim my elevator goes to the 10th floor in a 12 story building. A load of bricks and I probably come up a few bricks short. When God was passing out brains I thought he said reigns and took off on a horse, missed the handout?

But I am a dawg and sometimes I get a bone. I reckon I need new teeth. They turned up with this notion of writing words in a fancy way. Here tell it is called “"abecedarian´. Just the name sends a weak brain into shock.

For some reason I was brought back to about 5,000 feet in the red dirts above a place called Sedona Arizona. Dirt would turn into a 2 inch red dust just before the August Monsoons would hit. I liked to tossed a small skipping stone into the dust and watch it fly in a mid summer wind up the canyon.

Another Attempt to Write

About that time I fell down hard and it hurt

By the time I hit the ground I was inert

Caught a swallow of nasty dusty red dirt

Do it next and I will stay far more alert

Everytime down that dusty old trail

Forever I will hear my momma go and rail

Go boy but remember that old grandpa tail

How that one boy on his way back he did fail

It was not that long ago the story is told

Just ‘bout that boy met the mountain lion so bold

Kicked the boy away long before he grew old

Lots of men killed that great big cat that came down to our fold

Men with blood lust in their eyes and guns ablazing to our surprise

Not an animal stirred until way past sunrise

Out of nowhere and checking the story full of lies

Peter the boy came home sleep in his eyes

Quite the prank he pulled on all of us

Right up there with the boy cried wolf he would tuss

So of to boarding school and onto that love bus

To never again put our little town in a fuss

Under great stars I lay in the meadow

Very special our secret I still do know

Why the story of the mountain lion did show

Xerox copies can not possibly no my duplicate go

You see it was me it was me who made the lie of the zoos

Zoo of a Mountain lion was another fake news

Mom said in no uncertain terms to have fun. Have fun at funerals, especially mine she said. Have fun at your own momma said. Dance at your dad’s passing but best of all play tricks on the old men. They need them to stay young. You are just the one and you have just begun, now have some blackberry cobbler and ice cream, I never liked Peter much anyway.
