wild bill kept me camp and saved my life
		--------------------------------------------------------

		my pard my pal was wild bill
		i slept not zipped not once
		my feet would glow yet cold outside

		my wild bill was wall and home
		on bed of stone i slept a prince
		on thermalite in wild bill
		i was a cat in the window

		one day miles and days into the land
		a wiley light came on and stayed

		and wild bill caught a hole i felt
		the scent but dismissed it -- it's
		farmers burning weeds in the fields 

		wild bill kept the flame down and 
		this smoke had no fire.  but

		...fuel in a red fuel cell...
		...fuel in a 2 gallon fuel jug...
		...unleaded fuel rode in the back...

		my wild bill proved plainsman-well
		on the plains in the mountains
		stood guard at night then saved my life

		and so i recommend my pard my pal my good
		friend bill my teal-black plainsman and scout
		try wild bill with 3-D polarguard fill
		to plus fifteen farenheit.

		but think twice of
		glossy new cars with
		flimsy sensors bossing
		the naked though recessed

		ambushme baby lightmyfires
