The day I lost my virginity.
The juke box at the Frontier Room.
Crawling along the rails, slumped, unconscious,
fetal-curled in a shopping cart.
The following statements are beyond my reckoning to justify.
My finest concoction being a double shot of Wild Turkey,
add 3 squirts of Tabasco.
From that night on
I earned my first gray hair at age 14.
I have never owned an aircraft carrier
or an elephant.
I curse at least 100 miles an hour.
