The OK Coral

 

I rode the seahorse

down through the canyon,

holding my breath as I went.

Bandits shot at me

their pistols were old

the barrels were rusty and bent.

I hid by the coral

the colors were bright

an octopus took off my hat,

A Grouper swam by

chewing tobacco

paused for a minute, then spat.

A shipment of gold

was waiting for me

in a trunk, over there on that ship.

On its way to the bank

is when the thing sank,

some say that it was

a loose lip.
