The Two Bums

2009-03-12T14:27:00.001-07:00

The bum on the rod is hunted down
As the enemy of mankind;
The other is driven around to his club
And feted, wined and dined.

And they who curse the bum on the rods
As the essence of all that is bad
Will greet the other with a winning smile
And extend him the hand so glad.

The bum on the rods is a social flea
Who gets an occasional bite;
The bum on the plush is a social leech,
Blood-sucking day and night.

The bum on the rods is a load so light
That his weight we scarcely feel,
But it takes the labor of dozens of men
To furnish the other a meal.

As long as you sanction the bum on the plush,
The other will always be there,
But rid yourself of the bum on the plush
And the other will disappear.

Then make an intelligent, organized kick,
Get rid of the weights that crush;
Don't worry about the bum on the rods,
Get rid of the bum on the plush!

Flipping through the archives this is what I have come up with for a winamp playlist this week. Thanks to Matt, it seems everytime I want to hear a song I don't readily know I do a quick search into some files he gave me and the magic mice and machines produces almost anything... That being said here are my picks.

Merle Hagard, Little Old Wine Drinker Me
