lies, smiles, and simple truths

"ain't life sweet and weird and wild and wooley and foolish and cash
poor and rich in experiences and opportunities....
wish i could cash in and travel and fish....visit and revisit the scenes
of some of my crimes, lies, smiles, and simple truths.

someday the wants and warrants will expire in pennsy and
surrounding areas, dubois for example, and then when the lawyers
say it is ok again, i will be at your door......fat tire beer in one hand
and a rod in the other, probably wet with a belly boat around my
waist and trackin in mud and freakin the dogs into a barkin fit, big
straw hat stung all over with stuck flies danglin and spinnin, grinnin
goofy, mud cheeked fore and rear, spitten out kelp, draggin a
stringer o smallies to be cleaned before the flies get any worse,
smellin o deet n stale beer n maybe half out of it on an advil and
tylenol cocktail,

sputterin bout freedom and let's go, whassssss holdin ya up,
awwwwww come on hush up them dogs, get them cats away
from the fish gut pail, we got some fishin n lyin n catchin up"
