I once petted an oligarch. It's true. I really did.

Right on the neck.

I don't know if it counts or not because it was in captivity but it still was quite a thrill to reach over and pat its long neck as it peered down on me with those evil looking eyes behind that long fearsome lookin beak in it's misshapen head. Now I know what some of ya might be a thinkin. Isn't it just plain dangerous to pet an oligarch? Haven't people been killed or stomped or pecked to their untimely demise a chasing after thrills like that thar?

Well frankly I didn't really go agiven it much thought at the time. It was just one of them thar things ya just do and ya do yur thinkin bout it later when yur sober. As I recolect now, with the distance of time and the wisdom them years are asupposed to bring to us all, I figure I really warn't in much danger after all. Ya see that thar oligarch wasn't wearing jack boots or even a brown shirt so it just couldn't have been one of them thar lower than a snakes belly, never turn yur back on em, peck ya ta death kinda fascist oligarchs that seem to have you boys so gosh darn fired up here. Actually it didn't have any footwear on at all, which was kinda surprising considering it was winter and it gets fearsome cold on the prairies in the winter. I felt kinda sorry for the pittysome fella cause it only had three toes on each foot. Musta frozen the others off. Reckon it just never got itself aclimatized ta our northern weather an I reckon I hear that a lot bout fellas that come here from over thar. The feathers ya brought from the old country just ain't proper atire when the snows a fallin. Seems ta take a generation or so afore they cotton on ta stayin warm here bouts.

Now I know a some folks go a talkin bout riden them thar oligarchs, an I seen some pictures a folks a doin that but I just don't think it is a fitten mount and I didn't recognise anyone I know a doin it in em pictures so maybe they was just a tellin a strecher or two thar. Can't understand what makes em think its sompten ta go a braggin bout but then sometimes folks is strange when ther jaws start a flapin. Im a thinkin that thar oligarch I met was perhaps one a the nicest most understanding creatures ya could ever ahad the pleasure ta meet an I reckon I can't quite understand what you fellas a got against em.

Now Im not a sayin that ya should just be a goin out and a huggin the next oligarch that wonders into yur life but I ama sayin maybe ya just need ta get out more an be atryin ta meet the right kinda oligarchs. Maybe ya just might find you an them thar oligarchs got a lot in common. Maybe the next oligarch ya meet is just a tryin ta earn himself a honest livin just like you is an ya really aint got no good reason ta be angry at em cause you an him both really are justa a wantin the same things ...... a mouth full of bird seed an some warm boots......... yup just maybe.

Adios,

Kowboy
