Blue Collar Snow BrutesA Poem by Michael StevensJust your everyday horses, who get drunk!
Henry and Willard were done with
their work for the day
Now it was time to kick up their
heels to let loose and play
They were owned by a mean a*****e
by the name of McGill
Of his overlord bullshit they'd
each had their fill
He worked their asses off from dawn
until dusk
To them, a good time away from work
was an absolute must
Ordinarily, regular dirt they did
plow,
But not today, no, today blew, and
how!
For it had snowed, and they thought
that meant a day of leisure,
But when old a*****e saw white, he
vilely cursed her,
"That b***h from up
north!" meaning Miss Snow
And from there the unbelievably
nasty curse words did flow
He put them to work clearing the
road,
With no thought to their back breaking
work load
He just sat in the sled and whipped
their asses
They were just two of millions who
made up the blue collar masses
So when the tavern they reached,
yes, a tavern just for a horse,
They did what blue-collars' do of
course,
They started chug-a-lugging like
there was no tomorrow,
Binge-drinking in an effort to
escape their sorrow
Yes, just like you or I, when the
old job sucks, we mainline beer
Of course, the next day will be
hell, it's always much too near,
But for this evening, they sat at a
nearby drinking stall
Also there was Lightning--a bigger
dick there never was, he'd call
You a stump-humper, hey, we all
know the type
He'd throw his weight around, call
you an a*s wipe
An afraid dude, who covers it with
bluster
A loud mouth b*****d--an
out-of-control luster
The night mares all left again if
Lighting was there
They knew enough to leave and take
care
Drink did strange things to him,
but when told maybe he shouldn't,
He's scoff and say, "I don't
give a s**t what you think! I
couldn't
Care less!" to the horse
unwise enough to speak
Well, nature took it's course and
Henry had to take a leak
He was doing his business and
getting a kick out of the graffiti,
When Lightning totted through the
door, "Could this night be
Any more f-ed up?" mumbled
Henry to himself, or at least
That's what he thought, but the
b*****d-beast
Must have heard, cause he trotted
up to Henry, still donating to Save Our Water,
And whinnied "What was that
you said, there,
Galloping Dick Head? Maybe you and
I should talk about things outside?"
"Look, I don't want any
trouble, I just came in to try
Draining the main vein, if you know
what I mean"
Lightning came unglued, "Chicken
s**t! You're the biggest dick head I've seen"
"You out to know, you hang
around the men's room so much!"
Shot back Henry, for now he was
hacked--a bunch
More degrading adjectives shot from
his horse's mouth
Then all peaceful diplomacy headed
south
The battle was joined, the tavern
bathroom fight was on!
Just as Henry suspected, it didn't
take him very long
To dispatch ole' Lightning, he took
a chance
As Lightning reared up into a
fighters' stance,
He sucker-punched him, before he
was ready,
For Lightning was too cocky--and
much too heady
Out like a light went Lightning
like lightning
"You of all horses should know
anything goes when fighting!"
And so Henry trotted away, and
Willard and he left,
Leaving ole' Lightning rolling
around the dirty bathroom floor, bereft
Of any common sense--with not a
backwards worried look,
And with that, you can close the
book
On ole' Lightning, he got what you
should expect
When you run your mouth--physically
wrecked
Because tomorrow was a work day,
Henry had dealt with that a*****e,
the blue collar way!
