TEX

Tex was born
dirt poor
from out of eight
if it weren't for
the senator's wife
(he became a man of State
gave up i ching
then joined Heaven's gate)
and would not have any offspring,
she stood behind the seats
at the general store
but had to wait
on the soda jerks
to get any sex to articulate
her needs and had Tex
carry up her cup of mojo trays
and became her own prose lore,
she rightly suspects
Tex would run in a get away
from wealth and home,
while listening at eleven
to sports on the radio
he tuned out one day
and joined the rodeo
pushing a healthy horse
and the bull about
in a ring of course
which was his seventh heaven.
