Jeff Kyser Poet Free verse

Jousting On a Bobcat

You really haven’t lived life fully
Until you’ve raced down a mountain
In the rain
On a muddy, slippery trail
In a Bobcat side-by-side utility vehicle
With a twenty foot long section of twelve inch culvert
Teetering precariously on the vehicle
Trying to hold it under one arm
While attempting to steer with the other
So as to keep the Man
With the quarter million dollar excavator
From sitting around
Waiting on you
At an hourly rate
Higher than you ever dreamed of making.

Jeff Kyser November 12, 2022 at 10:14 AM Well, that's embarrassing... When you mean to type the 'u' and hit the 'i' instead, and it is a word that makes no sense and is in bold / title on top of that! Jousting, not joisting!!! :-)

L Milton Hankins November 12, 2022 at 9:33 AM Jeff, sounds like you must have come into some money, friend. You can afford to help him pay for his excavator! Jeff Kyser November 12, 2022 at 10:16 AM Just decided to loosen the grip on a little savings... This will open up that land to us so much more, and he's knocked out in a few days what I've not been able to do over a period of years...
