(356)▪︎[ What Smells Rotten? … 2024 ]

[ You Pay In Time ]
[ You Pay In Grit ]
[ Whenever Something Costs You A Dime ]
[ You End Up Hating Every Bit ]

  
[ You Pay In Dedication ]
[ You Grind It Out To Get Your Medication ]
[ All You Come Out With Was ]
[ The Feeling Of Aggravation ]

[ Don’t You Have A Trusting Face? ]
[ You Know That You Are Not A Darling Person To Look @ ]
[ Like A Pink, Pretty Bow, Made Of Lace ]
[ Or A Big Buddha, Which Is Bald & Fat ]


[ It Looks Like You Are Settling ]
[ It’s Going To Upset Those That Are Betting ]
[ Soon, Yes Really Soon, That Same Section, Will Be  Sweating ]

[ Sweating Up A Storm ]
[ Making The Back Of The Shirt, All Wet ]
[ This Would Not Be The Norm ]
[ You Would Bet ]

[ It Is A Dog Eat Dog World Out There Beyond, The Front  Door ]
[ Give An Ass An Inch ]
[ They Will Try To Take (5) More ]

[ Just So They Can Walk Away Bragging That They Took ½ A Foot From Right Under Your Nose ]
[ Those ]
[ Are The Type Of Person That You Would Want To Beat With A Garden Hose ]

[ & Then, To Show Them That They Stepped On Your Last Nerve ]
[ You Give Them A Whole New Proverb ]
[ When You Go Around A Blind Curve ]
[ You Kick Them To The Curb ]

[ It’s Two O’clock In The Morning & All Is Not Well ]
[ When I Walked In The Room ]
[ But I Couldn’t Quite Figure Out The Smell ]
[ It Was Like Pavlov’s Dog ]
[ Ringing The Bell ]

[ Is The Smell Supposed To Bother Me? ]
[ Or Make Me Wonder ]
[ What Could This Be? ]

[ Where Is It Coming From? ]
[ Are These Questions Dumb? ]
[ If They Are Not ]
[ Why Are They Making Me Numb? ]

[ I Try To Think About Which Direction I Was Supposed To Go ]
[ How Will I Know? ]

[ When Will The Signs Tell Me That I’m Headed In The Right Direction? ]
[ Would I Have To Make Any Corrections ]
[ To Make The Right Connections? ]

[ But Is This Going To Be The Norm? ]
[ Of Having The Feeling Like I’m Headed Into A Category (4) Storm? ]

[ The Winds From The Tornado Are Lifting Everything Up Off Of The
Ground ]
[ & Tossing Them All Around ]
[ Will Everything Be Eventually Found? ]

[ It Seems To Be Insightful ]
[ When You’re Doubtful ]
[ But That’s Saying A Mouthful ]
[ When You Let Someone Close To You ]
[ Know That They’re Untruthful ]

[ How Does One Rebound From Such A Disaster? ]
[ What Needs To Be Done After? ]

[ Can Some Of It Wait? ]
[ Until Tomorrow Morning After Eight? ]

[ You Quickly Find Out That It Can’t ]
