[hometext] => Story of a farmer who has went thru the motions all his life
[bodytext] => The man who smells like dog Ain’t got nothing to do today So he’s just gonna sit and think today About all the sweet little dirty ways His time on this one slipped away Fingernail dirt and a stained tee-shirt Are just the surface of the ways he hurt The man who smells like a big wet dog Ain’t got nothing on his broke plate right now He’s just gonna sit and watch a little TV right now Anyhow, he’s just one more tiny speck In the mass vacancy of not mattering A beat up truck, so out of luck Down trodden to the point of not even giving A good swear word Today is the day he sleeps till noon Today is the day without the perfume Of a sweet young thang to kindly explain Why his days always seem to pass Quietly and free of refrain And maybe a tear will interfere With his day to day notions of what a man really is And in this moment he will see clear The error of living life under the air Below the surface, always in fear Beneath the radar His life and his Sunday are drawing to an end And once more like before He’ll pretend This is what he wants So with heavy head he’ll head off to bed And squeeze a bad sleep whilst counting Not sheep But the numbers of years He’s let slip away Into the hairs turned grey Always man of the land A man for his hands Unsatisfied with this life that he tried As he writhes off the sleep The brain goes into a sepia haze The man who smells like dog is done with his day [comments] => 1 [counter] => 166 [topic] => 65 [informant] => FreeLanceDub [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )
