my friends and me are kind'a dopey
not all that pretty neither.
we don't notice much around us
'cept when someone gets a brand new car
or stupid hat
stuff like that
we do the same sort 'a things
decade to decade
ball games, barbies, cards
shootin' the breeze
raggin' on each other
sometimes a little rough
but always friendly intended
we cuss and swear
tell dirty jokes
no one seems to mind,
it's funny when our ol' ladies
try outdoin' us,
and they do half the time
we call ourselves by regular names.
Pete, Joe,
a couple 'a Jacks,
Juan, and Lamont are some.
street bangin' names don't fly 'round here,
'cept for Barney, "the fifer man"
he don't mind
him being from Mount Airy and all
I could talk 'bout kids and grandbabies,
moms and pops and all our good 'ol dogs,
but this here write is just about the guys
my home boys
my buddies
my friends
so, there you have it
a glimpse inside my world
ain't nothin fancy 'bout it, but hey,
over the years
me and the guys
have cooked us up some
mighty good times
can you say the same

Yo!
I dance alone.
I read books.
I tend to over think and overcook.
Yo!
You are a lucky guy. Stay that way.

this here stuff is a blend of
this here stuff is a blend of guys ( aquaintainces) from my present neck of the woods
and musicians I played with in some long ago bands.
In reality,
I now dance alone,
while over thinking why
I write undercooked poems
Yes, it is true
I'm a very lucky guy,
whether with others,
or completely alone
and you stay you

You're a braver and more skillful man than I am, Al.
I can never take on lingo like this. Although strangely after three months in Ireland I could write it more Oirish than the Oirish, sure and I could.
Hi Al
For a guy from Yankee land you sound almost like this old southerner lol. Guess we'd both be jailed if PC folks had their way.......stan
