Pilgrim's Promise

John Wayne brought his pilgrim
Whose ship had gone down
Along in his life boat
Toward Long Island Sound

The statue pulled strong
Despite the cowboy's resistance
"Do you really believe
That's liberty in the distance?"

"I've seen all there is 
Lived here all my life
You can't tame that filly
She's nobody's wife."

"Okay little fella
If that's what you want
Go chase your desires
But even big apples rot."

Sweat poured down their brows
As they both strained to row
Mr. Wayne took his hat off
His hair celluloid snow

The pilgrim jumped off
Disappeared in the core
John turned to the east
"You win again, dirty whore."
