Goin' Up The Country


Pish and Tosh rode into Broomfield, scents
Of Liberty and saddle sores, denied
Their basic rights of rye and brewskis, all
Because the goldleaf fell at others’ feet.
Not yet, they said, a floozy by each wrist
Of every taste in radical descent
Down from the mountain streams with rills so bare,
None ferried fruit. I say, no seams for me,
Said each, blaming the other, and the girls
Sang country blues before they had been born.
