The Life and Times of Sourmash

Her name came from her native heritage from the Navajo Tribe I got this story because I offered her a bribe She works at McDonald's as a shift leader Her boyfriend, dropped out of school after the 6th grade, he goes by the name Skeeter They take their showers with the laundry soap Dash She has such a negative attitude, can't afford to change her native name Sourmash Her boyfriend loves her for the free food and on her paydays He has one shirt, the Toronto Blue Jays They live in a singlewide, Wikipedia trailer trash The deep love shared between Skeeter, McDonald's and Sourmash She just bought her first VHS tape, the mini series Roots Skeeter owes three more payments on his cowboy boots Skeeter has Sourmash convinced she is a direct descendant of Koonta Kinte' They sit and watch the movie as they eat their dinner on McDonald's meal trays The carpet is stained red with Piggly Wiggly brand hot sauce After drinking some Mad Dog 20/20 grape, Sourmash brags to Skeeter how at McDonald's she's the boss They are convinced the laundry soap is giving them a rash Good luck in your future with Skeeter, poor, poor Sourmash
