Stumpy Cigarettes

Getting to know him isn’t easy He’s got a corse soul Perhaps he’s taken one too many dog bites Perhaps life threw him a curve ball too soon. But when he speaks Everyone values his opinion He’s got no idea how much weight are behind his words When he speaks Everyone values his opinion He’s a problem solver a dog charmer got no idea how much weight are behind his words. I used to think his grumpiness was funny or worse- I used to think it was a directed at me. Every now and then he’ll open up. Like a stumpy cigarette hanging off the tips of his tough lips. He’ll let it slide. he’s actually quite sentimental he’s actually quite a fragile soul. He does best to protect what’s raw and rare- from the snakes who tear us away from home.
