I'm not here to bust any bubble,
To rock any boat or cause any trouble,
I'm only here to clean up the rubble,
A garbage man am I.
I'll drink my beer for thirst of a beverage,
I'll hock my ring, invest using leverage,
I'll bust an ear to glean any severage,
A market chap am I.
O.K. so what, I'm quite unique,
I'm fast on my feet and a wee bit sleek.
Please save me a fin. I'll be broke next week
A man's got to eat..so to speak.
I'll sure make sure to tell you truth.
I just called a guy from a telephone booth.
He's a bum, my bookie and so uncouth
I'm a gosh dern fool, forsooth.
So I went thru life, never had a chance
Spent dough real wrong, never learned to dance
Never played with girls, studied Philo Vance
A retired gent am I.
A garbage man and a market man,
I wasted life chasing marzipan,
The path I took made me scheme and plan,
A zero man am I.

Aw c'mon norm don't knock yourself
and I'm not so sure you're "on the shelf"
there's a lot more left if you want to "go it"
if nothing else you're a bloody good poet
You're far from a zero in my opinion
living in a condominion
you can't be short of a dollar or two
but just keep away from that bookie you
So we're both retired living out our days
different places, different ways
I like to think it's all sublime
but I never seem to find the time. |
