Coffee and Dead Alligators to Go
The Flying J, Orange, Texas
Dinosaurs are said to be gasoline
But under the gas-station gift shop fluorescents
Three shelves are lined with alligator skulls –
Small, medium, large -
The dinosaurs must be at the gas pumps
Crocodylia to alligatoridae
To alligator, and onto the shelf
Between the “Don’t Mess with Texas” tee-shirts
Hecho en China / Fabrique en Chine
And the “Don’t Mess with Texas” travel mugs
Whaddaya know, gotta go, cuppa joe
Don’t need no dead alligator head, no

I so enjoy the Denny's / Flying J in Orange; all the world seems to pass through!
