ANd now the count is sixteen five!
Yon Stilly rode 'em hard,
To ramp up such a slough of posts,
While sitting in her yard.
But cooly, cooly made her bid,
And cooly played her hand,
And the sons of Mom smile with aplomb --
They're in for seventeen grand.
Oh the souls are strange on the MOAB range,
Where the skies run high and far,
And you never know where you're gonna go
Hitched up to the MOAB star.
But throw misgivings to the past,
And for the future, stand;
Get a feeling for the Great Thread wheeling
West past seventeen grand.
Maybe bold Rapaire will take her there,
With his borrowed rhymes and punctures!
Or perhaps old Bunn will be the one,
To dive in at the vital juncture.
It could be some star from a corner bar,
Or a road-worn carny hand.
But whoever 'tis, just be sure of this:
She's heading for seventeen grand.
