Sometimes we throw it at the wall sometimes the wall throws it back
Poetry is not about rules cigarettes are not about smoke
You heard your neigbors opinion Move your ass, get her done
The world is waiting for something You are the Susan Boyle they are waiting for
Spank the devil, kiss the angel give me a first edition

Yeah I know my belly is as round as a propane tank but that's not why my pants sag
kept a nickel in my pocket that tinked when it hit my key so it was left step and nothing, right step...tink
lost that nickel this morning and still hear that tink my right knee is starting to bother me
Went to my in house "library" to do some reading discovered a magnet I lost about the same time as the nickel
it was attracted to my stainless knee cap it also was having an affair with my key
Lust will will always get your pants to sag

Just short of a mile down a dirt road left turn, four hundred feet will put you in the yard
It is best in the summer time But I can turn on the heater in the winter
Usually in the winter I still put down the window elbow hanging out, lookin' at all that blue
From the highway to the house, go slow every pot hole and rock wants a piece of your car
Don't need the seat belt Check the mail box and wave to the neighbors
Nicest part is sippin' a beer and you don't have to worry about a thing

Winter caught us long pants filled the bill
Fall slipped back those shorts are keeping my tan going
Desert is a great place upside down reflection of the ocean
neither one has forgiveness screw up you die
long pants or shorts Choice can save your life
Place where you can freeze to death right after you got a sunburn

End of December the sun is out Five days ago it was rain, and rain
Sittin' on the patio, suckin' rays Dry suckin' up the rain
Sun and children coming together Just how warm can a body be?
Gentle touch of a grandchild Grandpa turned to pudding
How good can it get?

Remember when you were a kid? and everything was a wonderment?
Late at night or early in the morning dark outside...doesn't matter
Old man thoughts that intrude when ever and when don't care...so it's dark out
Get out of bed and laugh quietly, wife wondering what is that old fool up to now? Of course this makes it even funnier and makes her just a bit more curious. "Midnight snack?". Smile and a 'no'. She can hear the tab pull on the beer, and makes me smile when she rearranges the bed clothes in that fussy way that hens do when disturbed on the perch.
Hen left the nest cooing and muttering to herself rooster slowly strutting by, wondering why can't I?
shiny new egg on the straw hen wondering why it has to be her
My parents are sitting on the front porch it is dusk and they are drinking coffee
My mother was never prepared for me so once in awhile I would show off. Neighborhood is ringing with the sounds of how much and how far and the game is hide and seek. There is ivy growing at the edge of the fence directly in front of my parents and that is where I chose to hide. Three inches deep, my dad understood, my mother just snickered when I took off my 'T' shirt and tucked it into the front of my pants. A hundred feet, one zig, one zag to reach home base...laid face down in the ivy and waited.
Remember when you knew things and didn't know why?
The world was unencumbered and you were as big as your imagination
Evening breeze stroked my back my mothers tension made me smile
My fathers zest for life coursed through my veins my mother felt our connection, and surprised...
I was up and running...he looked the wrong way and took one step to many. Slapped a safe on the base and wandered back toward my parents putting on my 'T' shirt against the cooling night. Sat on the porch next to my mother and waited for 'oly-oly-ouction'. Her surprise still clung to her, but shivering went in to think the thoughts of mothers.
Bewildered comes to mind so often Must be the rooster in me
Wonderment is everywhere hope this means I get to be a kid again

Skirt swaying, hips moving counter black and white oxfords keeping up
Blue jeans, muscle T shirt greased hair and an attitude
Parents garage and 45 RPMs sister who can, brother who wants
Two weeks and the job is done the next dance is in the wind
She cried from happiness or fear the devil danced by her and winked
I told you this would lead to dancing

Lonely, can make you hurt so bad Alone, can make your smile whisper
Whispers touch the face and hands
Old friends...those face and hands kissed and held those babies
Babies don't see the wrinkles or the spots
Burp, urp or change my pants; baby love and then they love you all over again
Babies kill lonely every time

Being naive and unaware living with joy, air, earth
Brother suppressing laughter pea shooters in the living room
Mother taking a nap... "What's that noise"..."nothing"
Laying behind chair forts smothering laughter that can bring pain
Slipped out the front door running down the street
letting out the noise of two small bodies

Looked at the clock and found the time When did that happen?
Looked up the year and found it When did that happen?
Can you care for chickens or hogs? not much time but got to build that smokehouse
Can you do it for yourself? Fish need water, so do all the others
Fish is the time what happens next is the water Don't give me your tears, give me your hands

Can't tell you if they have a telephone Don't know the number on the house or the street
Why was my child overlooked it was an awards ceremony?
But they do have a cell phone for texting to someone six feet away
because they weren't giving out moron awards or your child would have had the gold six footer
Tortillas never taste right when you are mad as hell and crying
Home is the sounding board
