Rambling Written

Liar, liar, pants on fire, 
hang yourself from a telephone wire. 
The grass is or is it not, 
always greener on the other side, 
if you cannot see eye to eye then disagree 
because all lies eventually die.  

You cannot squeeze blood out of a turnip 
just like you cannot cross that bridge 
once you have burned it. 
Chewing tobacco, 
chewing tobacco, chewing tobacco 
spit, 
pissing into the wind 
And falling back into . 
It is time to piss on the fire 
and call in the dogs, 
little Johnny smoked some  
and got eaten by the hogs, 
cut off your nose to spite 
your own cock eyed face, 
little Jimmy cracked some corn 
slow and steady wins the race, 
get on your mark 
then get ready and get set, 
you can lead a horse to water 
but you cannot place his bet, 
road hard and put away wet 
like a whore in church
I start to sweat.      

Do you really want to hear 
just how the cow ate the cabbage? 
Well he ate it way too fast 
and then he choked on it, 
so you can put that in your pipe 
and you can smoke on it. 
Why did the little chicken 
cross the motherin'n road        
Well fukk a duck 
Cuz I really do not know, 
all of my life long days 
I have been working on the railroad 
with all of my ducks out of a row 
when the shove comes to push, 
a bird in the hand 
ain't worth a cold Busch.      

Now I'm counting all my ducks
 before they even hatch, 
and I'm putting all my eggs 
into one small  batch, 
I tried to shut the door 
But it wouldn't latch, 
speak of the devil 
see the fire and strike a match.        
I'm the little kettle that the pot called black and I'm the fire and he's sticking in the frying pan, well the early bird gets it but then that owl gets the fowl and the two birds stoned leaves the worm all alone but it's okay to put the cart before the horse do it gently with force with no remorse,      
Stay on the course of course, it's a horse of course, it's a horse like no other, it's the horse of a different color.
