Timber! (In Memoria For Bobby Keech.)
Can you lay a big tree down, Bobby?
Hell yes, and it’ll be as gently
felled as any babe ever laid to cradle.
Can you make it
fall exactly so, Bobby?
You can set your compass to it, friend.
It’ll fall
as
straight
as any
country
road there
be.
Then have a go at it, Bobby,
but let me caution you,
trees are as unpredictable
as any woman
on Earth.
Yeah.
I’ll be minding that.
