Sad Stories by Ed E

Sometimes I hear sad stories
You’ve heard them too
How folks can’t get along
Well that’s nothing new
N’ I admit I am far from perfect
I don’t always see things
in the clearest light
I’ve made my fair share of mistakes
I’ve even been known to cause
more than one fight

My baby n’ I
haven’t been getting on to well
I don’t always clean the floor
and she is always bored
She wants me to take out the trash
She tells me it smells
and then she leaves for the store

Five hours later
she comes back from shopping
The trash is still sitting
right where she left it
& she’s turning red
& she’s staring at me,
& she says, ‘what part of throw it out
don’t you get baby?’

Well she goes out to the back yard
Takes a swing in the hammock
I go out to the barrel
and throw in the trash
‘It’ll be gone soon’ I say with a smile
As I reach in my pocket
n’ I pull out a match

She says it stinks
so I give a little laugh,
I say ‘I’m sorry it’s burning so slow –
I’ll make it burn fast’
So I get an empty soup can –
And I fill it with fuel
She told me not to do that
then she calls me a fool

I don’t know how it happened –
I almost fell
Half went in the barrel
and half on myself.
N’ I cried, ‘I’m on fire,
please call for help’
She said, ‘I told you not to do it,
call’m yourself’
(aaahhh, that’s cold)

Sometimes I hear sad stories
You’ve heard’m too
How folks can’t get along
Well that’s nothing new
Now I’m lying here in the hospital
With 3rd degree burns
and there’s one lesson I hope you’ve learned
No matter how bad
it gets with your mate
Compared to me and my X
you two are doin’ great
Hhhhhmmmmm, you two are looking great.
Exceptional, Wow, amazing,
mighty fine, looking good
