Handsome Family Drunk By Noon
There once was a poodle who thought he was a cowboy, but
he lived in a cage the size of his thumb. And, though his
white horse was a box of toothpicks, he galloped around
until hit by a car. Sometimes I flap my arms like a
hummingbird just to remind myself I'll never fly.
Sometimes I burn my arms with cigarettes just to pretend
I won't scream when I die. Sometimes I can't wait to come
down with cancer. At least then I'll get to watch tv all
day. And on my deathbed I'll get all the answers even if
all my questions are taken away.
If my life was as long as the moon's, I'd still be
jealous of the sun. If my life lasted only one day, I'd
still be drunk by noon
