Spitin Seeds To my friend Art
Listen to poem:
I dedicate this song to my friend Art Hill a fellow musician
who really does keep watermelons handy
during these summer months
to share with anyone who cares
Arthur Likes His watermelon
So, he keeps one close a hand
He gets them at the market
Sometimes a roadside stand
But no matter where he gets it
When it's time for him to feed
You can catch him out in front
on his porch, spitin' seeds
When the Sun is murder
I walk over to his place
And sure enough he's sittin'
Stuffin' melon in his face
With one hand on his melon
The other with a knife
He leans over to me
And offers me a slice
It's funny, on a hot day
Cause Arthur knows our needs
And before I can say watermelon
We're both spitin'seeds
