Corkey Hawley May 2010
It's a dim & drizzly Memorial Monday
Hell, it could be Sunday or any other day these daze
The BBQ pickin party's cancelled
due 2 more rain and things finacial
We did not escape the flooding after all
the AC was out on the hottest day I recall
the heat & humidity is so oppressive
makes one's instincts blur & become panic obsessive
On a day set aside for all to remember
Those who gave all & did not surrender
Is marked with a lack of labor & shopping mall sales
No football, no banking, no courts & no snail mail
So I'll have another chunk of dat brownie
and wash in down with some good ol' Tenessee JD
Take another puff & drive another nail in my coffin
Until my head stops aching & can stop coughing
What will dis day bring?
Maybe I'll just sit alone with my guitar & sing
Play me some blues cause the mortgage is due
the roof is still leaking, two cats have nine kittens & I'm blue
I'm so broke I can't pay attention
to all of the things that I owe I've lost my retention
YA, I got dem steadily depressin'
Low down mind missin'
Everything is way past due
I got dem Memorial Blues

Append Just had 2 write dis 2 get my daze started, U all have happy :) Memorial Day, Doc

Man
     this
****** up world!

From minute to minute
        at least one person
Is postin about how miserable they are.

       I have stayed crack free
for going on a month now! :)

    You ******* miserable people
make me want to get back on the rock. :(

         I can't even read a poem at random
for fear of the thing makin me feel suicidal...

  Whats worse, is the same dude
          will post a
"The depth of my joy is unfathomable"
poem, thirty minutes later.

       **** this place.

HP is just too depressin for me anymore
Thank you to the chill people. Particularly, Ken Irving MacPherson.
Everybody else needs to get laid or somethin.

The warm weather's comin'
And the buds are on the vine

The warm weather's comin'
And the buds are on the vine

Ain't nothin' more depressin'
Than tryin' to satisfy this woman of mine
