Big Jim Steele. drive shaft wheel. Starved pig’s squeal. Roadmap old. Stories told. Westward wind sure is cold. Crankshaft phone. No one home. Capital buildings with gold-topped domes. Work then die. What a way to walk through life. Time-punch card. Thick grass yard.  Blacksmith in his barn. Get yer momma some good wool yarn. Blue down coat. Protective moat. Keep you warm. Float your boat. Its molton hot on yer roll-out cot. A good 8 hours would hit the spot. X-tension cord. Antique ford. Power to the people who bear swords. Goodluck horseshoe. Midnight curfew. Won’t you belly-up and have a few. 100 degrees. Standing in soot clear to the knees. Carmel glass. Insulate gas. Fire in the basement. So cancel class. Underpaid like a blonde mermaid. Unemployed at the arcade. A balled-up car. A heelin’ tar. Go bomb the Bridge Too Far. It’s justa movie rated R. Shiney penny for a jar.
