Jury Duty, such a response ability it's not
this, that is hard for me, as much as my encounter
with folks to or from their court parking lot...
this entire experience is hilarious, both before
or after court; One Spanish lady asks, please sir
where is them alabateors - What did she say - oh sure...
why she meant those 'elevators' - I'm going there myself
on our way a black fellow yells-out "ho-dee- doe fo me"
well, he said 'hold that door' for him, so follow me said, I
ordeal is over, on my way to my car one thing I hear
monback - monback- monback ok you, you can go
I think to myself - 'come-on-back' not till next year...
in my car he was mon-backin' me, now, so leaving
he said at my window sir, spare any change
my car is on 'E' meaning on empty, five bucks ok...
driving away, in my trusty rearview, joyfully, he is wavein'
note: He did leave me his phone number - Fi Fi Fo Fo Fi fi fo
554-4554 on Pennsylvania Avenue - ay!
