And There's No Paycheck On Friday

AND THERE’S NO PAY CHECK ON FRIDAY I revel in close calls And what I do takes balls I’m comfortable hanging by a thread While I eliminate the thought of my being dead I swim through rough waters against the tide And just keep repeating “Satan is on my side” One must be aware of what turning a corner may bring Because I look at life as if it is simply a fling Each day is a joke and I am its punch line And I don’t advise anyone to live a life like mine It’s frightening and fearful and every day I fret I worry about those I will meet and those I have already met I’m a man who lives with close calls and has balls As I wander through haunted ,lengthy and eerily dark halls It frightens me when I hear the sound of someone turning a knob And that’s what makes being a junkie such a difficult job © 2011.…Phreepoetree
