Free State Fence

And the carrot stared, puffy eyed, orange At the sun beating down, a thirsty retreat Sucking dust from the land Where we nailed a live mongoose to a free state fence In the hope of rain How Dominee danced with beer in belly His battered rooster laugh echoing through the valley We stared puffy eyed, smoking cow-dung rolled in pages from his bible Carrot burning, mongoose bite on his neck Swelling blue, fingers excite in trembling caress As they nurse the seed from his groin to wet the land Thank god that it rained on a free state fence Thank god that it rained on a free state fence
