Gasoline on my Hands

Try it as an aftershave, it attracts the women, and fends off the mosquitoes...


Poem Artwork

Gasoline on my Hands,


 


Even after washing sure does taste grand,


Ran the lawnmower I did borrow from a neighbor,


Filled with gas, got it on my hands, soap works little,


But better than gas in my pans, as cooking would then be volatile,


Got the lawn cut before the damn thing died,

I have no clue with regards repair, will just let it get some air…

 

Smell I do, like a mechanic,

Been sometime since that smell has permeated this house,

Maybe I will go back to working on my car a bit,

Better to not do so at night when I am half lit…

 

Gasoline seems to have a calming effect,

Both on myself and Rufuz and it attracts females,

Guess because I smell like a man, a man that actually does work,

Rather than being what is essentially a driving clerk,

Great at keeping the mosquitoes away does gasoline today…

I don't doubt a bit that it keeps mosquitoes away... as for attracting women... em.. hmmmm...ICK! I prefer the smell of soap... (grin) Do I detect a hint of needing to 'feel like a man' here, just because you're enjoying a much needed "downtime" from employment? Settle into it, you lucky thing... and remember: if it doesn't rain, the grass won't grow so quickly! hehe... Say the word and I'll gladly swap places.. you go to work, I'll hang out with Rufuz ... Sigh... oh, if only.... katy xox.
