Blind Squirrels and Fat Pigs

When the cooks find their chili is not the blue

Ribbon batch they thought it would be in their

Kitchen the night before the cook-off, drinking

Tequila and reflecting in the window

Over the kitchen sink, what do they think?

Sell wind. The gift of gab outside the box

Sounds loudest and laughs last.

Jump under the bus, hide among the ruins.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.

Pigs get fat. Hogs get slaughtered.

Who makes the terms we use

To tell and measure if we win or lose?

By what imaginary stretch is hope

The gap between desire and what we get?

I am not sure what I am trying to say.

Will anyone know the difference anyway?
