Title: Armed with WHAT?

On the road,
Not a martinet,
More like a weathercock.
Never certain of arriving,
Destination usually unlocked.

Riding side-by-side,
Upward on the grapevine,
Into the desert foehn.
Wary of the williwaw
cuttin' through the windflaw.

Where's Rabbit?
Holed-up in his mansion?
Maybe I DO know where to go,
Since vengence is my destination.
Beware the Boss, armed with his Librarian!
