I Went To War With a Whore and a Bore

I WENT TO WAR WITH A WALL Don’t worry honey, I protect my life With a concealed and well honed knife No switch blade, just a steak knife we had laying around But just like a switch blade it will bring a man down Don’t worry honey, I know the street too well When you walk with me can’t you tell? The street agrees with me and I with the street And sincerely the street and you should meet It’s a place where animals get out for awhile Away from a place of cement and tile So they rush to the trough just like all of the rest And then scurry back to their cage or their nest None of them give a damn about anyone They don’t even trust a priest or a nun Wave the Monroe Doctrine in front of them and they will wince Because everyone there thinks he’s still a prince So when I go to various venues to rob and steal You know it baby, your lover is for real Oh, and just in case I happen to fail Make sure you can get money for my bail © 2011.….Phreepoetree ~free cee!~
