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
