The Starry Eyed Rat

Here's a sing-songy piece.  One of these days I'm gonna learn guitar!

The Starry Eyed Rat

Didn't smile at all today

The crescent moon was on its side

So I took a hint

And cracked a slant

But it never justified

I hid behind the dumpsters

And took the mailman on a ride

I said where's my mail

You son-of-a-gun

'Cause my mama didn't write

Fell right down that hole I dug

Like a chocolate water slide

Hit the wall

And hit rock bottom

Wound up covered up in pride

I came to in an alley

Not a soul was at my side

Except a rat

With starry eyes

"In me you must confide."

Spilled my guts to that stinker

And we rode in the tide

Looked around

And realized

I came through the other side
