The Houston Broadcast Of Spring

the fewtch

In Texas
in some parts of Texas
there are parts
there are people
what call pants
pants

In Texas
in other parts of Texas
there are parts
there are people
what call pants
britches

In Texas
in all parts of Texas
if you don't cousin
with calling pants britches
or calling britches pants
it's very easy to get a gun
large enough to wipe bull
elephants from the brush.

That will learn them -
not the elephants.

The parts that call them britches

Or the parts that call them pants.


There are no elephants
in Texas.

i like the poem, so curious about texas, horses and ranches so whenever there is a poem/story that deals with it interests me the most

.....this is so hilarious! I honestly couldn't contain my laughter. I'm not sure if it was the intention, but it was definitely amusing and humorous. Well done!

a fun piece, Waconda...yes, as steven wright said "my roommate and i got a pet elephant, and it got lost. It's in the apartment somewhere...maybe hiding beneath the britches...

There are lots of elephants in Texas, they are given away as trinkets a Republican fundraisers. And weather britches or pants, lets not get caught with them down... and if we do be sure to carry something to clean up the vision of those around.

Good write.

Elephants was probably a bad choice. Funnily, elephants are often the only animal I can think of.
