Sikkeneurig

Good for Max..

It doesn’t quite rhyme, but Keurig sounds kinda similar to the Icelandic word “kúreki”, which, literally translated, means “cow driver”, the Icelandic word for either a cowboy or cowgirl.

Queue rig… the clothing you wear while waiting in line.

Too big.

Any kind of pig.

jury rig

Although there be some debatin’

‘Bout if ol’ cowgirls wear socks—

I can tell you fer a dern fact,

That true cowgirls don’t wear Crocs.

They just don’t fit a stirrup right,

And bright colors scare the stock—

I’ll sure nuff shoot the first cowgirl

I see wearin’ a new Croc!

Oh, we talk of Old West legends

Like our Jesses’ and Hickoks—

But I hope I never do see

Cowgirls herdin’ in their Crocs!

And when that great cattle Master

Lays me low beneath the rocks—

Just make sure I’m wearin’ my boots

And not a pair of them Crocs!

semi-rig

Calamity Lola

shindig…
