Carpenter Poetry

One of the highlights of a Greenhorn Creek Ranch trip for us one year was when they had a wrangler read some of his cowboy poetry around the campfire. There is quite a famous event held every year where cowboys compete based on their poetry. Cowboys, move over, because carpenters are invading your territory. There weren't too many samples in the article, but this one was kinda catchy:
Says Euripedese to Euripedose, "Dese saws is dull and my fingers is froze." "Looks like we's could use a cup-le o'teas," says Euripedose to Euripedese.
Whaddya say, Keith, ready to wax poetic? You're such a prolific blogger, I figured poetry would be right up your alley.

I am going to have to contact my lawyer obviously there has been an infringment on my copyright of that poem. "This blade is dull" and "my fingers are froze" leave alot to be desired in the originality department, I think I heard those very lines at least twicw today. More prophetic pros I always associated with my trade are... When you fall your fired..and when you hit the ground your trespassing. also in the falling venue.. try to land on your face so we don't have to roll you over to get your wallett. I also always thought that chicken shit to chicken salad thing was a carpenter talking too, but thats just me. I could go on but I think I need a more secure setting.
