Suspended

by Bill Schott


Strung up like a slaughtered goat,

a bloody cord around my throat;

hanged and hanging from a tree,

a 'suspended' sentence; see?


Pulled over on a speeding beef,

arrested as a fleeing thief;

seemed the local bank'd been robbed,

and the bank clerk's cabbage cobbed.


The trooper pulled me from my seat,

had me lying on the street;

popped the trunk and took a look

at all the cash that someone'd took.


He used a night stick, hit me good,

then drove me out into the woods;

hoisted up now, like a deer;

I guess I'll end up dying here.
