Cheyenne & Sugarfoot

Cheryl Wheeler

I used to hope the aliens would please pick me

Now if I saw a spaceship

I would u-turn and floor it

Ta-ta ET

Maybe my sense of adventure receded from focus

To dwindle and then disappear

Or maybe it's just getting hard not to notice

There's plenty to do around here



I used to run fast just to dive to the ground

In our Cheyenne and Sugarfoot game

Now it's true I get stiff just from sitting around

But I do like to sit just the same

And I don't mind the old, I don't mind the gray

It's not like I was Miss Clairol anyway

And it's okay with me that I will not be

The first to find out if the swing works okay



'cause I don't have to remember Laissez-Faire taught us

I don't even own any good shoes

And if you're having apples with mayonnaise and walnuts

I can just say "no thank you"
