*Talking Cattle to Taylor Johnson*
George Robbie
Barefoot on the swamp
Black velvet scales
Innocent
Inside his trouser leg
Combs down slow
One strike!
Tiger snake
Tail in his left hand
Unhinged pink
Venom laced fangs
No feigned attack
Crack!
The stock whip
Shatters his back bone
Tosses the ruined sinew
Ten foot talking
Cattle to Taylor Johnson
