Okay, today’s song addition to the “Mixed Up Files” is not very “singing cowboy.”

Sometimes I have to break character and go back to my origins as a beat poet, a purveyor of spontaneous bop prosody, if you will.

I made this back in September of ‘21, and I can’t remember what my exact inspiration was, but I think I had just caught on to the “bag of dicks” thing, which I think is hilarious for some reason,¹ and I had seen a person with a uterus on their shirt with “The Future is Female” emblazoned on it.²
