You want me to play the fool
I can't do that
I am not that kind that kind of person
I play my cards right
I also follow God's rules
Because I am his son
Also I cand afford
To let my God down
I am always up early in the morning
I don't dare to sleep in
Because if I do that I will waste a day
That is not what God want me to do
You want me to ruin my health
By smoking a joint
You say it will be good for me
That is wrong
If I smoke a joint I will be killing myself
Slowly
And that is not what I want
I want to live my life to the fullest
Every single day
Before God calls me to die
Also I know that life is precious
You say I am wrong
I can't trust you at all
I don't need somebody like you
In my life
I want you to get lost
If you want to kill you self
Smoking joint go a head
I will not stop you
I am happy that I have
God in my life
And he is watching everything I do
You tell me that I must drink wine
And be an alcoholic
And also to drink like a fish
I made many years ago a promise
To myself that I
Will stay sober
I don't want to destroy my liver
And have some ulcers
I stay away from the
LCBO
What do you want from me?
Do you want me to feel pity for you?
Lets face it
You are not easy
To get along with
You always give people a
Hard time
The only friend you have
Is a bottle of wine
You drink like a fish
It is very sad
That you are doing it to yourself
I don’t smoke, snort, or pop any pills,
and don’t drink like a fish anymore.
I don’t go partying all night long,
girl, not like I used to do before.
I don’t need to be that ramblin’ man,
I am a lover not a fighter.
I prefer to play some safer games,
now that I am older and wiser.
But honey if that’s the kind of life,
that you think you really want to see.
Then baby you hang on to your beer,
grab hold of the rail, and just watch me.
I going to show you a few things,
that might make you shake your pretty head.
We’ll go out and paint this whole darn town,
with a double coat of neon red.
If it’s crazy chaos you prefer,
then I can be the man that you need.
Cause my name used to rhyme with trouble,
girl, that’s trouble with a great big T.
I will wine you and then I’ll dine you,
until your eyes can no longer see.
So baby you hang on to your beer,
grab hold of the rail, and just watch me.
I can eat like a pig,
As well as, drink like a fish.
I can piss like a racehorse,
Or even bark like a dog-.
In my youth, I could run like the wind,
And at times, sting like a bee.
Yet if I float like a butterfly,
I might be driving like ol' granny.
Now if I scream like a schoolgirl,
I might be fearful of an angry God.
But if I whine like a stubborn mule,
I could end up on the wrong end of a cattle-prod.
At times, I show the patience of a saint,
Or being impetuous as a child with new fingerpaint.
And if I continue this way and act like a child,
I'll avoid those aging pitfalls, and run in the wild.
your balance is off
going to the bar is why
drink like a fish you do
8/25/17
From here to over yonder
Come hell or high water
Before, during and after the dog days of summer
Standing out like no other
Showing my true colors
No one I need to convince
I drink like a fish
Not a myth
Eversince
It's
Been hit
And miss
Holy s***
Good intent
Was always meant
So please excuse my french
Too many
Showing envy
Involved in a feeding frenzy
Going for broke
Won't
Be looked at as a joke
With my own style
Going to go the extra mile
In order to make it more worthwhile
A lot of people high on the hog
It's rather odd
Just like the concept of god
The Boss Comes to Dinner
By Elton Camp
It was for the very first time in my life
We asked to dinner the boss and his wife
Company’s sales and profits were down
And talk of layoffs had been going around
So we thought it’d be a good idea to hurry
And favor with the boss try hard to curry
The two showed up a little before eight
We made sure that dinner wouldn’t be late
The house was shining, so spick and span
To impress him, we had done all we can
Our little son Joey came out into sight
To meet the boss and to say “Goodnight”
“Sir, my Dad talks about you a whole lot.
He tells about how you are such a big shot.
If there’s time, to see you do it, I do wish.
My Father says that you drink like a fish.”
