A Story to Tell


Should I tell you how I got here,
more than likely you would say,
Oh, that ain’t nothin’ I’ve got a
hell of a story to tell you. And,

I would probably agree that you
do. But let me begin by saying
my trip was as slick as sailin’
down I-70 on a Sunday afternoon

in June. No traffic, not a vehicle
4-wheeled or more to be seen
headed East or West. Slicker than
snot on a brass door knob, I tell

you, the likes of which you may
have never seen in your entire
lifetime before. Now, go on ahead.
It’s your turn. Give me all you got.

Must be a powerful story too. I can
plainly see you must‘ ve been run
over lots of times on the highway
you took gettin’ here.

Now, I’m no beauty to look at. With
that most folks will surely agree.
But to you, my friend, I extend my
sincerest sympathy.
