seems he was had to be the one who threw the red brick or rock or whatever was at hand through the picture window

                  gratefully small children werent invited  attended

that was facetious

                      or small pets

Aren’t you tired of being the wet blanket the cold bucket of water? she asked

Are you tired of being with being seen with the blanket the bucket

No. Never.

           Not ever.

There ya have it kiddo took the words out of my mouth  chuckled

                                                                        Its my lot in life for a lot of my life

Feelds  Achers   For as far as the eye can see

To quote the wisdom of my buddy John Dumber gone too soon

                                                                    He-Who-Fucked-Fat-Women  Was Indian

I believe youll excuse me

Yes.  I recall John, you telling me of him.

    Jah

          It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it.

Was he real or a figment of your boundless imagination?

Man was as real as real can get

We got along because neither of us pulled punches

A brickthrower too?

Jah

        Im left to carry on                                                

To quote Crosby Stills Nash an Young  Now witness the quickness with which/We get along/To sing the blues you’ve got to live the dues/And carry on.

    My dues

I am grateful you willingly share them with me albeit  vicariously

                                                                        Fortunately

No ones sought to use you as leverage

    Why?

I believe you know

    Yes.

I don know how they do it

If they just deny it

Act like it didnt happen

Short term memory

 

I am here  

To say

We are more ignorant than we know
