So Sue Me!
I missed one deadline
one blasted deadline
on the poetry beat for heaven’s sake
an interview with some up and comer
E.E. something or other
but my Editor showed no mercy
strictly a one strike policy you see
so out the door he kicks my fanny
you’ll never work again in this town sonny
that’s why you’ll find me in this backwater town
just South of beautiful Miami
mixing moonshine mayhem cocktails
for seedy patrons in a seedier bar
If I hadn’t missed my deadline
I could have made it big
a star reporter with the Tribune or Times
attending Park Avenue parties
dressed to the nines top hat and tails
Friend this writing thing is one tough gig
one blasted deadline
on the poetry beat for heaven’s sake
an interview with some up and comer
E.E. something or other
but my Editor showed no mercy
strictly a one strike policy you see
so out the door he kicks my fanny
you’ll never work again in this town sonny
that’s why you’ll find me in this backwater town
just South of beautiful Miami
mixing moonshine mayhem cocktails
for seedy patrons in a seedier bar
If I hadn’t missed my deadline
I could have made it big
a star reporter with the Tribune or Times
attending Park Avenue parties
dressed to the nines top hat and tails
Friend this writing thing is one tough gig
