Poem
Two guys at the corner of Fifth and Grant, were looking pretty far down on their luck. Because their beat-up old station wagon, just got T-boned by a Ford pickup truck. The light was green for that station wagon, but that truck just slammed right into their car. After they all got out and walked about, looked like that truck driver came from the bar. That station wagon was a mangled mess, one guy had some blood oozing from his head. I said to myself, it could have been worse, thank Heaven nobody’s bad hurt, or dead. The cop showed up a few minutes later, asked them what the heck was going on here. The truck driver said, Billy Bob old friend, those boys there smell like they was drinking beer. The cop hemmed and hawed then cleared his throat, he said you know it looks perfectly clear. I see what you’re saying is true, Judge Brown, these boys will be locked up for fifty years. So, they hauled those guys to the county jail, told them that they don’t need any phone call. Cause if they want to get out of this mess, the best thing was to confess to it all. The sheriff wrote it all out on paper, said that it was going to be all right. He told them, sign your name here on this line, then you might be out by tomorrow night. The next morning, they went to the courtroom, their lawyer was the judge’s son-in-law. Billy Bob showed the judge their confession, the biggest case this county ever saw. There was murder, rape, theft, and robbery, with a whole lot of other crimes thrown in. Every unsolved case the sheriff had faced, was listed in the charges against them. The judge slammed his gavel on the desktop, said haul these boys off to the calaboose. What say we go down and have a few rounds, cause this one calls for a couple of brews. Now ain’t that just the way life seems to go, some days it don’t pay to get out of bed. You’ll be cruising along, singing your song, with the warm sun shining down on your head. Then the day starts to turn cold and dreary, though that is not what the weatherman said. Some dirty bird flies by and drops his pie, now your day has turned all nasty instead.
