Hobo's Last Meal
Ain't nothin new 'bout gettin old.
ain't nothin new 'bout gettin by
Gettin by with nothin
Nothin new 'bout that way
Church had it wrong and the minister was confused
Devil don't take nothing, but he gives you the blues.
Had us a chicken and fire down south a way
Well, I had a good eatin' roaster,
Perhaps I forgot to pay.
I took me a walk
Yeah, I whistled all the way.
Thank you mister chicken farmer
For your generosity.
See, I took your chicken back there
But I gave you your philanthropy.

The man say the gift of giving is a high
I done give that gift to you so I can get by.
You just made a donation, offering or tithe.
I just made another way to get by.
You'll feel better knowing you helped.
I'll sleep better, fed in this here shed.
Now you can feel good.
And I will lay back down to my bed.

Now just put away that buckshot barrel
I'll walk away and we don't have to quarrel
Don't turn my gift back on me
See, I given you your generosity.
Don't slip that noose around my neck
I ain't gonna swing for just one roaster.

The Vortex strikes again.
A foster-adopted-step cousin of mine is separating from her husband and moving back there.
Oh, the foster-adopted-step-cousin thing?
Yeah, I have a nightmarish M.C. Escher family tree.
Anyway, another one pulled back.
She'd been out of the place we shall not mention for better than 14 years.
I'm telling you, and myself, you have to watch these things; forever.
And they'd just adopted a two year old girl from China, as in 4 months ago.
Will China even let you keep an adopted child if you get separated/divorced?
Similarly, what were they thinking adopting a child if things were choppy?
Or was it the added stress of the kid thing that widened/exploited an existing crack?
Ain't nothing in this world for sure.
Excepting for how good hot dogs taste when slightly burned/blacked around the outer skin/casing.
Today was warm enough to open up the windows for ventilation and cook like a caveman all flame and noir style; i.e. blackened.
Smoke detector be damned, mmmwa-hahahaha.
Fire, meat (assorted beef pieces in a tube-shape), good.
I even read a book on the deck wearing only shorts and got the first official minor sunburn of the season.
Sweet.
On the first sunny day over 60 degrees F this year.
