I was down in Amarillo
When I met this armadillo,
Now he said his name was Jake,
Which I should have known a fake,
For I’d done a double take,
When I first spied this fake Jake,
An Amarillo armadillo,
With a suitcase for a pillow
As he lay behind a bar,
Called the Amarillo Star,
Pretending he was sleeping,
But I could see him peeping,
Out those beady ‘dillo eyes,
Beneath dark ‘rillo skies,
He acted like he woke,
And then the ‘dillo spoke,
Hey buddy what’s the time,
And could you maybe spare a dime?
Or how about a buck,
I am down and out of luck,
I’d like a bite to eat,
It would really be a treat,
By the way my name is Jake,
Could ya give a ‘dillo a break?
Now sucker is my name,
And I didn’t see his game,
So I gave him my last dollar
Then I heard a whoop and holler
As he ran into the bar,
And yelled, set up a cold Lone Star,
The ‘tender said, Sure Willy,
And boy did I feel silly,
I’d been taken by Willy ‘dillo,
Behind a bar in Amarillo.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

Tim,
That is a FUN read! Thanks I enjoyed that a bunch. Ya'll be careful now, yahear.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Ah, it must be Friday,
and we are pleasantly amused.

Thank you, Sir.
