The Luster-Buster

      Who admits he was born in a suburb
           his life is a luster-buster

      Even if he’s on the coast, of zero can he boast
           his personality ~ milquetoast

Guilty as charged, born on the suburb and on the coast - lol. No wonder, I keep putting everyone asleep.

Got to be tough. I know people who had spent their early lives in big city gutters...it may not have taught them what they wanted from life -- but it sure as heck taught them what they didn't want.
