The Jolly Losers


Reaping the garden of another's growing,

They scorn the sweat of other's brow.

Why have I been so wearily sowing?

Playing carelessly since the day's dawning,

Pining hungrily for the harvest, now

Reaping the garden of another's growing.

Leave me just a crumb, knowing

Not what I'm to do, or ever how.

Why have I been so wearily sowing?

Pressure increases from a bully's gloating,

Am I to be pastured as a lowing cow?

Reaping the garden of another's growing,

There is never enough of desperate giving

To cause their mouths to drop -- 'Wow!'

Why have I been so wearily sowing?

I think I'll turn tonight these tables groaning

Without so much as a mealy bow,

Reaping the garden of another's growing

Why have I been so wearily sowing?





Speaking of Losers, here's my brother's boss' cousin mouthing off wit his usual illiterate bravado (just scroll down to Cleftus Lopp, it was a bad day when Interwebs were run out to the trailor park). I think Cleftus even embarrasses Joe, and thats a hard thing to do
