The Shoot Out At the Koa Corral

The continuing Saga of Zack Waverly The Shoot Out At The KOA Corral Six more days of dust and heat along this lonely trail, Although I thought 'Til I caught sight of a horse, quite sick, and frail There was no saddle on his back no bridle and no reins and as I rode a little closer I could see he was in pain I left my horse, canteen in hand approached him very slow Careful not to spook him off I kept my voice quite low and poured some water in my palm and cradled every drop and how he lapped the water up I'ld thought he'd never stop It took some time, to build some trust Understanding his position Tired, sick and all along And in, such poor condition I wondered who the owner was who would treat a live like this and so I looked and found the brand which really made me pis*ed It's been some years since I had seen a brand that looked that way but there it was, I knew because I'd worked for KOA
