Neddy
Recitation - prologue to High Horse Momma
Song by artist and musician Terry Allen.
On double album Lubbock (on everything) 1978
A waitress asked me what I did.
I told her I tried (to make art)
She asked me if I made any money.
I said no …. I have to ‘teach’ to do that.
She asked me what I taught and where.
I told her.
She told me that she liked art, but that she
couldn’t draw a straight line.
I told he if she could reach out for something
and pick it up, she could draw a line that
was straight enough.
She said she wasn’t interested in that kind
of drawing…..but she always liked horses.
I said I did too, but they were hard to draw.
She said yes that was very true…said she
could do the body OK, but never get the
head, tail or legs.
I told her she was drawing sausages…..not horses.
She said no…… they were horses.

Great blog. An enjoyable read.
for many, many days I have been looking at this horse. I have decided it looks more like a seal. Don't you think?
You must get out more!
A seal called Neddy?
