and damn if Denny the neighbor didn't drive by
at the right time, just laughing his ass off
and not offering to help one bit.
then when I righted myself and made it
to the store, Abigail asks if I was drunk
and I immediately know Denny was there
buying bait and blabbing his damn mouth.
pert near ran over a rabbit on the way back,
and swerved to see Denny in his front yard
laughing his ass off at me and he is the last person
I want running his tongue around town about my driving.
so's I go over there and offer him a beer,
then we gets to arm wrestling and I break his spirit
over a picnic table while his little cousin laughs
and pets a dead frog in his front overalls pocket.
