Half a Tank The Apparatus: First Use Take That Philosophy

Country Western line dancing?
In Ireland?
Why not?
Everyone wants to be a cowpoke.

done as a round
and nicely braided with
"She'll be Comin' 'round the Mountain
(When She Comes)"
because I can just remember it.

Herring gutting as a competitive sport
is not widespread
but does prove that nearly any human activity
no matter how repulsive
can be an outlet for artistry
