backyard poetry

sittin' on the back porch,
drinkin' gran'ma's brew;
lots of free time on my hands,
can't think of what to do

i wanna strip naked,
go lay out in the sun;
chiggers chompin' on my butt,
ain't my idea of fun!

maybe i'll build a treehouse,
but i ain't got no wood;
it's too hot to break a sweat,
that idea ain't no good

i might just have a cookout,
but i ain't got no meat;
i don't wanna go to the market,
even though it's down the street!

i wanna write a poem,
but i ain't got no words;
it's hard to gain inspiration,
countin' flies on piles of turds!

maybe i'll sell my dog,
clean up this funky yard;
that would make me sad as hell,
sayin' goodbye is just too hard!

sittin' on the back porch,
drinkin' gran'ma's brew;
lots of free time on my hands,
can't think of what to do...

    Hi Milton,great fun loved some of the imagery it conjured up. Perhaps sometimes we should just relax a little while and do nothing don't you agree? Thanks for the laugh luv June
