My one regret is the bloodline I derived from I’m not a pedigree or a monkey’s uncle My father is a penniless swami My mother is a peace creep We live up the river, near a civil war battle ground When there is a downwind, the water has a polluted, toxic smell A few years ago, I needed a pair of glasses Never received them, No insurance, no money! My mother ***** slapped me a few times, thinking that would help straighten my eyes out Now I have short eyes! **** she’s dumb. My brother, who is three years younger, Is a laughing child Anything someone says, or does, he laughs Through the years he was whipped, punched, beaten and dragged in the mud by a horse he’d still get up and laugh One bizarre thing he still does is hover on the side of the outhouse He enjoys listening to someone **** or **** I call him the bathroom slunk Growing up over here is rough We have a dead car, that sits on bricks waiting for a set of tires, and an engine The trailer we live in, is a ramshackle nightmare Lots of junk and brick-a-brac’s, decorate this two room trailer We do breed chickens Were all chicken lovers Chicken for lunch, dinner, as a pet and for target practice Easter Sunday is around the corner We don’t attend church or get all dressed up Our Uncle who lives down the river, Takes his small, dilapidated boat and docks near our place We call him the pirate, since he has a wooden leg, and always wears a black eye patch He’ll bring nothing but himself for our Easter dinner Overall, I’m a pretty happy kid In a better world I would just like to have something besides chicken for dinner.
