Summer at Yellowstone National Park

(riding a high horse)
Remember that you said
In the dark of dawn patrol
Deliver to the light.
In the dark of dawn patrol
Now I lay me down to sleep
Gravity's got my bones

And rides the seven-headed beast

Hit them in their sleep
In the dark of dawn patrol
Gravity's got my bones
Hit them in their sleep

Hit them in their sleep
Only left alone
Remember that you said
Start kicking ass
Either way they die.

That is why I went back and put in parentheses the phrase that generated the poem.

Thought it turned out pretty cool.
