rant #1

i smoke one to eight cigarettes a day.
when i get high, that total may change.
my color of choice is orange…
sometimes gray.

boy can i talk the day away…
except when i have nothing to say.
which is the most of the time…
thus why i write this rhyme.

i tend to go to this place from day to day.
why? i don't know. except that it pays.
that tends to work out
'cause my dad used to tell me that money counts.

i hang around these people now and again.
i like what they say. they make me grin.
years go by and i barely see them.
sometimes they're around. sometimes i'm not in.

i have these things. they pass the time.
sometimes i don't want them
maybe i'll give them to the poor, maybe the blind.
but i'll bet i have to pay a tax of some kind.

i write about me and nothing else.
cause love, death, and god don't ring my bell.
if i think of something else, i'll be sure to tell.
for now, this crap seems to work out well.
