A POEM - THE WAGON OR THE WHISKEY TRAIN?

THE WAGON OR THE WHISKEY TRAIN?
But isn’t that how it always is?
A ride on the wagon costs next to nothing,
Which is just fine in my book,
But it can also be very safe and boring,
Which are things I generally avoid.
Whereas a ride on the whiskey train
Can cost you thousands of dollars,
Or even your life,
Even if you do fasten your seatbelt.
People just don’t survive train wrecks,
The way they do a bumpy ride on the wagon.
But, like the cowboy I always wanted to be,
I was finding some enjoyment,
For the first time in seven years,
Jumping through the air from one to another,
Sometimes taking it easy on the wagon,
For more than a day at a time,
But then leaping back on the whiskey train,
Cackling and whooping and loving it all.
