Ya'll know Frustantien
Yeah aint he the one
who wife left him
while he was getting
a root canel.
I heard she took to the doctor
dropped off
and while he was there had the
moving company come
and pack up
and took her stuff to
a new place
and aint tell him nothing.
Nah, I heard he got emplants
and she said
she didn't like him smiling
up in woman faces first
cause he stopped doing that
while he was snagger-toothed
but the thought of
going thought that again,
she just couldn't do it.
He told me she became a birdliked creature
and flew him
to a polluted lake
where he turn to stone
and she flew him back and dropped
him to earth
where he shattered to stone.
Well anyway, I heard that he and
his wife were getting back together
she moved back in a coouple days ago.
They some nasty people, bet she
been out there doing God knows what
with any ole body:
We know he is!
(Laughing they changed the subject to something else)
