The Redneck

I always thought she was a redneck
But I never told her so
And she'd probably have hung around
(swallowed me whole)
Even if I had told her;
She probably would have said
She'd try to change.
All my friends
(the high school chums with the baggy pants)
Knew what she was
Better than
They knew what they were
But they didn't care
As long as I'd
Enthrall them with the tales
Of how I was banging her
(in which rooms
and in which orifice).
They were lowly snobs
Like myself.
Until, like all playthings,
I tired of her.
There were only so many ways
To bend her.
I broke the news to her
As gently as I knew how.
I surprised myself
By crying.
And of course followed
Two or three
On-again off-again years
Filled with the dismal
Nostalgia sex of remorse;
No longer were stories wanted
(the baggy-pantsed friends all had wives)
Until one day she'd tired of me
And she married some rich bastard
From the Virgin Islands.
Last I heard
She had a butler
And was terribly happy.

Blind date with the chancer
We had oysters and dry lancers
When the check arrived we went dutch, dutch, dutch, dutch
A redder shade of neck
on a whiter shade of trash
And this emory board is giving me a rash
I’m flat out
You’re so beautiful to look at when you cry
Freeze, don’t move
You’ve been chosen as an extra in the movie adaptation
Of the sequel to your life.
A shady lane -- everybody wants one
A shady lane -- everybody needs one
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
Oh my god, oh your god, oh his god, over god
It’s everybody’s god, it’s everybody’s god, it’s everybody’s god, it’s
Everybody’s god
The worlds collide, but all that we want is a shady lane
Glance, don’t stare
Soon you’re being told to recognize your heirs
No, not me -- I’m an island of such great complexity
Stress surrounds in the muddy peaceful center of this town
Tell me off in the hotel lobby right in front of all the bellboys and the
Over-friendly concierge
A shady lane -- everybody wants one
A shady lane -- everybody needs one
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
Oh my god, oh your god, oh his god, oh her god
It’s everybody’s god, it’s everybody’s god, it’s everybody’s god, it’s
Everybody’s god
The worlds collide, but all that I want is a shady lane.
I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral ring notebook. But in the long tresses of your hair--I am a babbling brook.

We are so misunderstood. We must be geniuses.
Masters of words.....:)

Thanks! I was starting to think it was generally disliked--and it still may be, for all I know. It is harsher and more depraved than my usual work. But I can't deny what I've been, or what I've done.
It's a real poem, fer sure.
Thanks for reading justam!
