Beneath a bayou’s tranquil, silent sway,

A jacketed elk at the break of day,

Tremors of nature in the water’s flow,

Where cinnamon sunsets cast their amber glow.

By the carport’s shade where the lightbulbs gleam,

An elk and a bucket, a tranquil dream,

Beside the bayou, under the moon’s embrace,

With an elbow’s touch and a gentle grace.
