THE SKINNY

by Bill Costley


“A woman with a skinning-knife…”
slowly muses AK Gov. Sarah Palin,
“can cut the heart out of any man
in a pin-striped suit. I will again;
I'll truss up & skin that Sen."
Alaskans agree, half a million
hands on their skinning-knives.


Bill Costley serves on the Steering Committee of the San Francisco Bay area chapter of the National Writers' Union.
