Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life End over end, neither left, nor the right Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life
Make me, oh, make me, Lord, more than I am Make a piece in your master game plan Free from the earthly temptation below I've got the will, Lord, if you've got the toe
Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life End over end, neither left, nor the right Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life
Bring on the brothers who've gone on before And all of the sisters who've knocked at your door All the departed, dear loved ones of mine And stick 'em up front in the offensive line
Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life End over end, neither left, nor the right Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life
Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life End over end, neither left, nor the right Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life
Yeah, dropkick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life End over end, neither left, nor the right

C.: Did you pass your urine test, d.c.?
d.: It wasn’t a urine test—
C.: What kind of test was it, then?
d.: A re-entry test for nursing school.
C.: Again? Haven’t you already been to nursing school?
d.: Yes, but this time I’m trying to get my Bachelor of Science in nursing.
C.: So, you’re trying to get another degree?
d.: Yes—
C.: Don’t you already have like, five degrees, and a good job at The Kennel?
d.: I don’t have five degrees, only two, and I need this one to stay close to home when our branch of The Kennel closes.
C.: Our branch of The Kennel is closing? When?
d.: I’ve heard rumors that it was going to close since I transferred to our unit from another branch of The Kennel, nine years ago. This time, though, I believe them.
C.: What changed your opinion?
d.: Well, they closed one branch of our cluster when the state sold the land to be developed as another part of a growing neighborhood. Our esteemed representative wanted to say that he was going to close all the kennels in this part of the county, but someone told him that three of the units were “specialty units,” and couldn’t be closed.
C.: So, we’re safe then, right?
d.: I wouldn’t be too sure of that, Cal.E. The branch of The Kennel that was closed to develop the neighborhood was also a specialty unit. It was a drug rehab facility that was supposed to be moved to the branch of The Kennel where I started my correctional nursing career.
C.: You said, “supposed to.” I take it that didn’t happen then, so where was the drug rehab unit moved to, then?
d.: It was moved to The Hill Country, close to Austin. IDK what happened to the five million dollars the state got for the land it sold. It was supposed to be used to build a new unit about forty miles south of here, but that didn’t happen.
C.: What do think happened to the money, d.c.?
d.: IDK, Cal.E. What do you think happened to it?
C.: Well, I’m just spit balling here, you know, hypothesizing. But, I think it went to that representative to pay off someone who had some damaging information on him. That person is probably the epitome of evil and will expose the politician, and then kill him, as well as his whole family if the politician doesn’t pay him what he asks. When the politician pays him off, though, he’ll ask for even more money, so the politician will need to sell the rest of the land to pay off the person who’s threatening to ruin his political career, then kill him, as well as his whole family. We’re definitely in trouble d.c., about to get dropkicked through the goal posts of life, like that politician may. I’m going to update my resume so that I can find another job when our branch of The Kennel closes.
d.: You’ve been reading too many of my manuscripts, Cal.E., but I do need to take care of some business, too, so we’ll close this blog until tomorrow.
C.: What do you need to do, d.c.?
d.: That’s privileged information, Cal.E. Let’s just say, though, that I may not need to worry about retirement if this works out. I’ll tell you what you need to know on a “need to know basis,” and, right now, the less you know the better.
C.: ???!!!
