Ryan Balthrop Shit Or Get Off The Pot
Granddad always told us to always finish what we start.
Over fifty years of sweet love with his true love, and never did they part.
Until the winter chill when she took I'll and died in the dark. And left him, left him with a broken heart.
Sometimes love is all your missing. sometimes it's all you've got.
I guess it takes a lifetime to learn- to learn what can't be taught.
All the years they laughed and cried. Fought, forgave, forgot.
I suppose if I know a little about love, then they must have know a lot.
And all my hesitation and disapproval- is really just my refusal to do- to do what I ought.
But I'm learning that when you lose your love you gotta live with what you got.
I guess it's time to shit or get off the pot.

She's like a Mongolian buffet. Hot and sweet and all you can eat."
The Cap said "Son don't take more than you can put away."
You know love can be just like food. Too much will make your belly ache. I

You can take all you want. But you gotta eat what you take.
