fat idle blues
tasks at hand
bills to pay
the vacuum’s broke
the dog ran away
when did I land here
who have I been
why do i live in this
ripe and aged skin
promises forgotten
visions dimmed low
each morning I wonder
“now, where do I go?”
banker, lawyer
or indian chief
the days demand due
we can't buy relief
human or plow horse
or sweet kitty cat
empty is the pleasure
of just getting fat
so I wake to a buzzer
and drink a strong cup
and sing through the day
dancing a little whup whup
bills to pay
