Curved Horns – by Joe Balaz

Wun voice in Steve’s head

asked him witout hesitation,

 

“Who’s hungovah dis morning?”

 

He quickly answered,

 

“Not me

but I’m willing to learn.”

 

 

Dat tells you how da preceding night went

along wit da day before it

 

and so on and so on.

 

 

Give Steve da hair of da dog

or da wolf, or da tiger

 

dat bit him

 

cause realization

and recognition

 

sees da same damage

no mattah wat kine of teeth it wuz.

 

 

Let it be known

dat Sleve’s not picking fights

 

he’s just standing his ground.

 

 

It’s wun man-card violation

 

to ask foa your coffee

at wun certain temperature.

 

Bad enough

 

dat da meticulous soon to be rival

wuz having wun prissy latte.

 

 

Dat alone

 

is not wat led to da physical clash.

 

Steve simply disagreed

wit wat da guy wuz saying

 

wen dey decided

to escalate dere altercation.

 

 

It’s not like

he wuz taking on wun daffodil eidah

 

cause Steve found out

 

dat dere wuz wun equal amount

of masculinity involved

 

in da simultaneous blitzkrieg.

 

 

Any bystander would have to admit

 

dat both of dem landed

wun good deal of punches.

 

 

Now you know

why rams have dose impressive curved horns.

 

Dey like to butt heads.
