It Lasted All The Way Here (Bussokusekika)
Well what’s done is done
My hair is dust in the wind
I guess that its true
My Father really does know
How much hair a person has
It lasted all the way here

About this poem
Well…I thought I was just going to have to toss it all out the window and get it over with…But My Father instructed me to drive down the Ronald Reagan Highway to the 101 Nirth and toss a ounce of it out at each exit ramp along the trip back to Lompoc, CA…I couldn’t believe I tossed the last punch out the window at the 1 and 246 junction…Who would have thunk 12 Carats of hair would have lasted the whole trip???And poor Bku lost his teeth because I took the 1 instead of heading My Father’s advice and going to Buellton and catching the 246…Oh well I put my trust in him again and he did not forsake me…His new shoes suck…I think I need to reshot him once again…Oh well…After the return trip I know what happened to me in LA was no accident…I did some serious hydroplaning and Blu in his current state did not falter…Oh Mighty Powers that Be…✌️☃️
