The Stagecoach Cometh
The old man didn't like the stagecoach.
So bumpy he was thrown from side to side.
But a free ride is a free ride.
Not that it cost his employer's any money.
Now that they owned the stagecoach company.
Busted Gulch the old man liked the name.
It had old west charm.
A shame.
His employers will change it.
When they own it.
Springfield, Dulltown, Bedford some pretentious characterless names.
For the pretentious characterless real estate game.
As his ride pulled into town.
His old eyes took a good look around.
Its old-west charm took his breath away.
This would be a place he would have loved to stay.
But one thing he knew.
The old are pulled down by the new.
As he stepped from his ride
He looked at its new sign painted on its side.
Mr. Done And Mr. Dusted
The American Progress Stagecoach Company.
Old man time to make your money.
The hangman sighed and his heart fell.
As he rambled off towards the hotel.
