Toledo Flats(A Fictional Work of Uneasy Decay)
Here in Toledo
I live in a Flat
Infested with rats
who keep crawling up my back
My toilet needs a plunge
From the crap that I keep
It is starting to smell
My nose can't even sleep
the Stew on the stove is a week old
Milk of Magnesia is my poison or so I've been told
The landlord wants the rent
But the money has been spent
on fixing my cot that continues to rot
Sick and feeble I keep using the needle
Ants are nice to eat but so is that beetle
John is a friend who likes to drop down his draw
But his waist is a bulge,that much the ladies all saw
Sad times are here as I throw up my beer
My tv set crashed so the eye sheds a tear
It is never boring in Toledo Heights
Where the man is unashamed to display his unsightly tights
Streets to get mugged on,Avenues to booze
I like this wacky environment, it's the only life I choose*
