Ol’ Trixie was a Faithful ‘Ute’
She was always oh so willing
Throw a few Sheep or dogs or geese
Into her ‘pick-up’ back
She would Truck them anywhere
She was called upon to Truck
Across the Deserts down All kinds
Of Convoluted Tracks
Up the Mountains
Through the Forests
Crossing Creeks and Dams
Doing everything Old Tom asked of her
Until she Simply Ran Down
Ran Down Ran Out of EverythingE
Even the Will to Live
But She Lives On
Old Tom could not part with Her
She was such a Close Friend to His Heart
Now The Forest Reclaims Her Slowly
Plants and Creepers Pull her Slowly Back
To Feed the Forest
With all of the Minerals the Forest Lacks
Slowly She will Dissipate and Disappear
From View
But Trixie Truck will live on
In Old Toms Heart
And in the Growing Forest Too
