There’s a reason Louise avoided Texas (a poem)

2015/07/22 Kevin J. O'Conner

A cautionary tale, I suppose… Stay away from the barking dogs even if they don’t bite they’re not on your side And, whatever you do don’t taunt them You’ll only give them a reason to clamp down hard again and again until the blood starts to flow It cannot end well (21 July 2015—posted July 22)
