Coyote Call
Sure I was drunk, drunk as a skunk and stuffed to the gills, as well!
My eyes were leaking Sailors Rum that must’ve been cooked in hell!
Lord knows I like a healthy jolt that drowns the week away.
The bar was chocked with pretty gals - it wasn’t hard to stay.
So I sauntered up to one or two, or stumbled so I’m told.
I closed an eye to set my course, and sailed for buried gold.
And I anchored by this pretty gal, to gaze into her eyes.
My magic worked. We left the bar, my arm around my prize.
I don’t remember much from then, it must have been some chase!
I woke to aches I’d never known and knew I'd won the race.
The room was spinning round and round. A snoring hurt my ears.
I didn’t want to turn and look, but I always face my fears.
I jumped like I was stung by bees and tripped into my pants.
I hit my head against the door and left her to her rants.
I’ll drink my sorrows down tonight and dock another bar.
Perhaps I’ll get what I deserve. Or find my lucky star!
