Meet me out by the gnarled redbud tree.
The one out by the old blacktop road.
You will hear the sound of more than one bee,
buzzing around branches, blooming so full it's bowed.
I will be waiting for you under its branches
Patiently, I will count the seconds.
You can bet that I will even practice my planches.
I will stay no matter how much my bed beckons.
When you arrive at our rendezvous spot,
I will give you a kiss to seal my love for thee.
I even have an engagement ring I bought,
I hope that you will say yes to me.
Meet me out by the gnarled redbud tree.
Where the bees sound like a million flies.
All you need to bring is your love for me,
And I will give you my proposal as a surprise.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
