Bum ba deah Bum ba deah
d.: Whoa big fella
C.: d.c., why are you stopping your horse? We need to find my kittens!
d.: I know, Cal.E. But I thought I saw a native American artifact. This sharp rock looks like it may be an ancient arrowhead!
C.: Well, if it is Artie’s, maybe we should find him and return it!
d.: No, not Artie’s fact. Artifact…never mind. Look over there, by the mooring. It looks like there is an armadillo by the boats that are harbored on this side of that lake. AND it looks like he is talking on a cell phone!
C.: That reminds me of a song.
d.: What’s that, Cal.E.?
C.: It’s basically a poem that has been set to music, but I thought you already knew that!
d.: Nobody likes a smart cat, Cal.E.
C.: J.K. I feel better now that I have heard from five of my thirteen kittens. Let’s sing a song while we ride. It will make this ride more enjoyable. You seem to be working hard to keep your horse under control. Maybe if we sing, it will calm him down.
It looks like you may have some experience with riding a spirited horse d.c. Yours is "feeling his oats," I guess. That is probably why he is bucking a little. Have you ever owned a horse that you had to "ride down" to be able to use for your purposes?
d.: I had one horse that was green broke. I bought him when I was fourteen years old, without my parents’ knowledge of his status as a semi-ridable horse. I thought that I could finish the job of breaking him, and my parents thought he was completely broke. I learned my lesson, though. THAT was one too many bucking horses for me!
Okay, if you will start singing, I’ll join in. Maybe it WILL calm my horse down.
C.: An armadillo by the mooring
d.: It looks like he’s on his phone
C.: Everything that I got
d.: Is stored in the cloud on my phone
C.: When that sun is high in that Texas sky
d.: I’ll be bucking on a nag or mare (but not THIS horse ever again!)
C.: I’ll be looking for eight (of my kittens) when they pull that gate (at The Kennel) and I’ll be hoping that guard is blind
d.: An armadillo by the mooring
C.: An armadillo on his phone
d.: They took my saddle in Houston
C.: I broke my leg and had to limp on back home
d.: (That’s from a Jimmy Buffet song Cal.E. Not one sung by George Strait)
I Lost my wife to a girlfriend; I didn’t know that she was gay
d.: I ain’t got a dime (because I work for the state of Texas)
C.: You ain’t rich
d.: But Lord, I work (practically) for free
C.: An armadillo by the mooring
d.: An armadillo, well I’ll be
