Chimney
Chimney
Remember when we was small
Growing up in ste Madeleine
Going down the line
And by the pond now and then
Like the long Palm lace street
That leads to the sugar factory gate
We would play all-day
An always come home late
The first time I smoke a cigarette
My grandmother said
She says if god wants you to smoke
He would put a chimney on my head
Time will come and go
But words will least forever
Every thing she said
Was SO SMART AND CLEVER
And as I journey thru age
My mind are so occupied
With the needs of every day life
Trying to keep my soul satisfy
And some times I would look up
At the stars so bright
And wonders if my grandmother
Knows I’m thinking of her tonight
I am sure you all remember
A grand mother’s word to
And when you think of it now
You know it’s true
One time on a cruise
When the ship’s whistle blow
I look up at the chimney
An remembers her words long go
Now I try to play tricks
With way she use to talk
Use it everyday outside
When I go for my little walks
Now I use her Philosophy
To every thing around me
And put her Terminology
To Work for all to see
If god wanted us to fight wars
He wouldn’t give us hands
Will give us grenades, and guns
And imprint our face with war plans
