Warm-Up
4/1/17
Go ahead and press your luck
There was and always will be more stuff
Happening after or before us
And for now, this is just a warm-up
As lightning during another storm struck
A sycamore trunk
Then burned and roared toward brush
Before it was put out by a fire crew that arrived in four trucks
Some have or haven't gone to war once
Still I've got to learn much, being poor is tough
But I'm still after ores across any shores and bluffs
Inside a shack, there was improperly stored junk
Tools neglected, and worn with rust
All on the floor dust
None of the drawers shut
And the door is stuck
Far away in a field all that remained was boar guts
Nearby there was a tourbus
Stopping temporarily for lunch
