Going through the archives here on the parking lot, I can’t help but notice that Chris is kinda big on poetry, and I’ll just assume that the same goes for his regular readers. So allow me to introduce you to Dan Turrell, one of Denmarks best known authors and poets.

Karma Cowboy Theme Song

Some folks got to reason
Oh but I hope you�ll understand
I don�t reason nothin� I�m just
ridin� thru the land
ridin�
ridin� thru the land
writin�
daybreak thru my hand

The Karma Cowboy
is only a tool
in the hands of a Karma
that makes him a fool

He�ll go upside-down
and back �round the bend
He�ll see Death Mouth eating
each postcard you send

He plays the act
he knows how to play
He says the things
he�s got to say
He rides around
from town to town
just full-time turnin�
upside-down

He got no plan
Got no idea
He may not be
�I not even here�
But as the wind
and smoke may dance
you�ll see him move
by simple chance

He has to die
some other day
That�s just to live
some other way
And as they take him
out of sight
a voiceless voice
says �it�s all right�

It seems hard to believe these days but Dan Turrell caused a lot of controversy in Denmark back in the 70’s, not for his writing but for being bald and wearing black nail polish – it probably takes a little more these days. He was a generous spirit and a very talented writer of poems and suspense novels.
