Today
I'll take the
old mule down
to Mr. Culbertson
He'll know
what to do
For a bad knee
and arthritis
not the mule's,
mine.
I couldn't be
more lucky
than to know
the Culbertson's,
Basin folk
each and every one.
A remedy
from Mrs. Culbertson
should fix my knee
if not my pride
When an old mule
did decide
to lie down
with a fool
still astride.
