Thinking of the girl who got away...
Outside
With my steel stakes,
Wire cutters,
Insecticide,
Lawnmower,
Edger,
Rope,
Staple gun,
High pressure hose,
Chainsaw
Shirtless
Drenched in sweat
Body all scratched up
And covered in Mother Nature
I lift a glass of ice water to my lips and take a big swig
Then I get back to the task
I think about what I'm going to do when I get her back
I start up the chainsaw
Vroo-vroooooom!
(blip. . .Blip. . .BLA-A-A-T!!
RruRuuGgARugGgAaAa!!!
