Child’s Play

by

On buying shit I don’t need day, I bought a hobby horse, mounted it, and off we went. The Lucas gang robbed the bank.

Alongside them, I said, “Stop in the name of the law.”

They did.

“Ride yourself over to jail.”

They do.

At home, I tied my horse to a parking meter, turned, and saw a man picking a pocket.

“Stop thief.”

“Yes, you.”

I got deputized and rode the trail looking for outlaws. Told one to “reach for the sky.”

His arms fell short.

“Reach,” I said.
