The Fox, the Wolf, the Coyote,

The Fox: 1. the blare of the horn snooty hooves of fire red coats... panting for my life 2. briar rabbit ears twisting in my angry grip... more tall tales are told 3. a hen in my mouth a farmer without his gun... life can be so good The Wolf: 1. silver sinews coil full moon permits me to speak... shivers for all men 2. my proud bloody coat clings to young Navaho skin... tales of my demise 3. the grind of tractors growl grief to my amber eyes... leave my land alone The Coyote: 1. mangy vermin shriek pelts darken with scarlet smear... ranchers open fire 2. mere morsels to munch lupine snap shears of warning... always last in line 3. roy rodgers singing cactus cattle and trail dust... my chorus off key

ESPN says Cower wants Miami or Houston ... but the Giants could use his know how.. the Steelers did well with him as head coach for years.. but the fans did not like him at all.. think Philly is done.. yeah... Joey Flacco is my next door neighbor here so have to root for Ravens too ... but what about Falcons luv? they seem to be the cream team to beat these days... Saints had their day ..time for new team to win.. do u like Brady and the Pats? NO for me..luv..
