Broke Town

People often ask me Where it is I'm living The only thing I have to say is I'm doing more giving than I'm gettin'' They all just nod their heads Knowing where this conversations bound And where it is I now reside ~ Broke Town ~ We have people always moving in To the city daily If you'd asked me this years ago I would of said you're crazy After all this is America Where riches can be found But it doesn't seem that way no more ~ Broke Town ~ With our new formed government Taking care us It's no wonder this once mighty nation Is on the verge of bust Have to figure that what goes up Must eventually come crashing down And wouldn't you know it's just our luck ~ Broke Town ~ One day it is I hope to move Somewhere far away But that can be so hard to do In any town these days For in the lap of luxury I have no need to be found I just wanna be outta ~ Broke Town ~

You think you're broke? I have to fart twice to make a "cent"(scent). I'm so broke I can't pay attention! As always Mike, Love the humor but there is also a lot of truth in this poem.

Sorry Mike, I didn't know that about your city in Florida! I'll probably be stuck here in Alabama because its fairly cheap to live here…:)
