PERAMBULATOR

Walkathon. The one who never stops.

Goes without ending. There's a word

for that. Let me take it to the bank : 

like Santa Claus, like Easter Bunny,

like Elmer Fudd his'self. Yesterday.

Out and about. Two black guys

sitting, talking about dead trees. 

Using funny words. 'Slavery'

words, I like to call it, plantation

diction. 'Those two trees gotta'

come down. They'll hafta' cut 'em.

Some time come, a big limb's

gonna' fall. You gotta' watch out.

Dag-burn. The thing about a tree

is, it'll be growing for 70 years,

and then just one day, some little 

car will drive right under it, and

jes' like that, the danged limb will

fall and kill some'n. Now what

d'yo think about that?' The other

guy says, 'I'm thinking that's called

Fate. Right I?' And then again the

other guy says, 'Yeah, but that be

it, dangest thing, Jes outta' the blue.

Yeah they gotta' cuts them soon.'
