TWO MULES
© DANA FITZSIMMONS 1998
Two mules down the road
They carry there their awkward load
The flies they buzz around
Make there their buzzing sound
Two mules look like sin
gender entering in
The comic twisted grin
Coats not dapple gray
You can’t say that they wanted to move
Two mules dig in hooves
stand as stones in the road
stand as stones in the road
Two mules down the road - Both you have to goad
Steering is a drag- both you have to flag
Two mules stand unflawed- Genuine frame of mind
Two of a kind - Left on your mind
Left on your mind
You can’t say that they wanted to move
Two mules dig in hooves
stand as stones in the road
stand as stones in the road
Two mules in the road - Two mules in the road
Decide to have a rest - No more plodding west
Two mules stand unflawed - under the shade of willows
Under the cloudy billows - The giddy feet it goes
So slow - the by the nose
You can’t say that they wanted to move
Two mules dig in hooves
stand as stones in the road
stand as stones in the road
