Brokeback Country
Edited on Sun Mar-12-06 12:29 AM by doc03
Maybe the sequel for Brokeback Mountain should be Brokeback Country. Two cowboys, one from texas and the other from Wyoming, with an unbreakable bond for one another.
The Texan walks as if he has biceps bigger than Arnold's and a swagger to his step. He talks tough and causes problems wherever he goes.
He can always depend on his most trusted weapon; his old 9/11 to back people down and his band of desperadoes to finish them off.
The cowboy from Wyoming is the meanest of the two, he talks with a crooked mouth and smirks at the truth.
His favorite weapon is a 28 gauge with a hair trigger.
He's fast with his gun but doesn't shoot straight, so give him a path, don't tread in his wake. Some say he peppered a fellow called Nit Wittingham; a friend, so it's told, he just happened to spray with lead one day.
Well these two cowboys and the rest of their gang ride the country coast to coast breaking the laws that protect us the most.
They rob from the poor and give to the rich.
They break the backs of the working stiff.
They won't stop until the country is broke and the problems they have caused are placed on the backs of generations to come.


This is a LTTE in my local paper I thought it deserved repeating.
