Hi-ho we ride along the trail

To find the horse to

Make a voyage, sail

Along the veil of reefs and coves

which the tourist loves to

discover and pretend they

are what the horse’s rider intended

but riddled with anxiety

the voyage is cut short

adjourned so health may be restored

to horses, pigs, livestock

unwell humans, too, ahoy

Hi-ho let’s fire the gun and drop the

revolver that killed the one

who planned the event to hell.
