Texas Syndrome Written In 2009

If you’re looking for a fight, If you feel like running on horseback, To saw bars of prisons, if you want to play poker Or drink a whiskey in a saloon, Perhaps there is a reason? An unhappy childhood, The betrayal of a beautiful ideal or The desire to enjoy life, then Ask yourself the right question, Maybe you had an uncle in Dallas Or have you seen too many westerns, Maybe a woman lied to you? Yet women smell good, So is it Texas syndrome, : "Too many manly guys around you?" PS, this is full of french clichés i guess, when i wrote that in 2009

It's not much like the westerns on T.V. anymore, Yann. I like your poem about Texas though. It's filling up with all the people that hate where they were living. A poet friend in Texas, Bill
