You can never Keep a Good Horse Down

(Fire)Billy Ray Brown sat on his favourite arm chair with his wife Maya perched gently on his lap; taking in both, the warmth from the hearth & love from his darling. They both held each other worried about the next day at the mill. The boss had called a union meeting with all the workers. (Knife cutting tree)There was news about layoffs due to inflation that stung America, especially the middle class, after the fall of Lehman Brothers that cost 10’s of millions of Americans their lively hood. Billy looked into Maya’s eyes and promised, “Baby, I don’t know if I will be fired tomorrow but I promise you we will have the best Xmas presents for little Johnny.” (Horse brave as sun)

That night they both didn’t sleep. The next morning all the mill workers gathered in the building compound. The meeting was about the layoffs & he was one of them. High School graduate, having met Maya in school, Billy & Maya fell in love & soon after school they got married. Billy joined ‘Blue Reckers’, his dad’s job previously & got little John inside Maya after three years of blissful marriage (Milk bottle). Billy walked dejected towards the highway thinking of ways to make money for john’s first Xmas gift. He walked aimlessly until h crossed the curb of an attractive, pricey gaming parlour. It was filled with bunch of college junkies & uptown yuppies.

(Key)Suddenly Billy was struck with an idea. He smiled wide & walked inside the parlour. After 10 minutes of fishing around the place he spot was he was looking for- a couple of loaded yuppies betting with money on winning the game. Billy with a savvy nature intimidated one of the gang members a tall scrawny frustrated Client servicer maybe, to bet 300 bucks on the game.

Billy was a champion at balling. He was a champion at everything fast & easy enough to make money. That’s why maybe Maya loved him so. He saw little John face & smashed the ball against the set of pins down the alley & ‘Kaboom’ all down! (Balling pins)Daddy would make John’s Xmas the best, indeed. (Glowing tree)
