We Met Four Years Ago While Hunting Deer

We met four years ago while hunting deer, And ever since that time we've been close friends. I'm the killer, he's become the bear: I love the layered message that this sends. He drives two Chevy GMC's--one black, And a red one that he calls the General. Four-wheeling down some bumpy backwoods track Is what makes him and me most comfortable. We're buddies, even though a boy and girl, And through the years our friendship's only grown. Life gets to you sometimes as troubles swirl, But he's the best ear I have ever known. We have, of course, compatibility; But, deeper, love and rough equality. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
