The Weight of a Horse

These groceries must weigh forty pound.
Ride old Buck to water.
Popcorn finches on the ground.
Wondering, is this true love I’ve found?
Ride old Buck to water.
These groceries must weigh forty pound.
Those finches make a twittering sound.
Tie old Buck with a halter.
Popcorn finches on the ground.
Old Buck shall wear the robe and crown.
Sell him for a dollar and a quarter.
THOSE groceries weigh a THOUSAND pound.
Take a hit, pass it around
bottle or number, don’t be a hoarder.
Netted herring spilled upon the ground.
The reason why I stuck around
even though the pay got shorter.
Groceries less than a buck a pound.
Peaches ripe plopping to the ground.
