On the Double

8/18/17 Put on a camo hat Then checked each and every trap And reset them, so there could be another catch Been wearing a mask To take care of the task It's tedious, and helps being apt Had to use gloves And trudge With a shoulder strap that falls off often or rubs Held the atomiser tighter and lifted it up above Near a wall of shrubs The mask was to prevent what I was using, from getting into my lungs And the gloves were to keep it off my skin, because It could be harmful, since the packaging said it was Don't need to be world renowned I wasn't going to mess around Just wanted to hold it down And make my family proud Instead of being a clown The current labor Involved the use of a generator Across the span of a few acres Wasn't going to ignore Used extension cords When the weather was cool or warm Had to work with a hose And stay composed Not sticking out my nose Focused on the bigger picture Got covered in stickers AKA hitchhikers Worked with pliers Near and far from telephone wires With my hands Followed through on plans No need for a helping hand Stepping up to the plate, being a man Otherwise I'd be damned Used my brain Across any terrain Instead of letting it all go down the drain A fan of dunkles Dug tunnels And pits with shovels Keeping out of trouble Using my mind, knuckles And muscle Sticking to the hustle On the double
