Wordell Cash was a one legged man
that had entered the ass kicking contest
at the State Fair of Texas
Only he and I knew of his disability

A machinist by trade
the ol' boy had rigged a prosthetic leg
that worked along the same lines as
a switchblade
Hit the switch located near the hip
"WHAP"
the leg would fly up
with enough force to
kick a grown man's ass level with
his shoulders

Wordell also had an added advantage
He was endowed with an unusually large ass
one capable of absorbing
the repeated ass kickings
it would take to get
to the championship round

We laughed out loud as I spray painted
a target to the seat of his britches
The announcer's voice boomed
through the loud speakers
"WORDELL CASH OF MIDLOTHIAN, TEXAS…WORDELL CASH"
He turned and winked and gave me the thumbs up
As he entered the arena

I took big clodhopper steps
into section C-row 7
singing
" MARES EAT OATS….
AND DOES EAT OATS….
AND LITTLE LAMBS EAT IVY…"
I watched the ass kicking unfold.
