Short Abilene Poems

Mary, Mary, the truckin' queen
Runs from Raleigh to Abilene
Makin' sixty cents a mile,
Squashin' squirrels all the while....

A frugal inventor in Abilene
has finally perfected a time machine
He goes way back in time
brings back beer for a dime
and watches the Super Bowl on his big screen

We hung the baddest man in Kileen
As dangerous as we'd ever seen
"I will haunt you," he had said
"I will come back from the dead."
So we buried him in Abilene.

A thousand miles of dust,sweat, pushing a herd of rawhide
                         From Texas to Abilene, Sun boiling down, campfire at night
                      Lighting and latigo, Saddle for a pillow, the hard ground for your bed...

There's a grave out on the Plains that holds the last remains
Of a cowboy shot dead in Abilene
It was a young girl they say that caused his death that day
And left him in a hole that's never seen
He swore with his last breath that he'd haunt this town in death -
So his grave's forty miles from Abilene
