Do you tattoo

People have been designing art on their bodies for forever...


Poem Artwork

They do it in
The jungle
They do it on
The reservation
They do it in
The prison
And in parlor's
In all places
They do it
Do it do it
And how do
I know that
My sons have
Also done it
Gotten what they
Call, a "tatt"
A bulldog on
An arm, and a rose
On one too
Then a barbed wire
And a native sun,
A skull, and another
Rose will do
Don't know how many
Will show up on them
On their final day
Most people do it
But not me,
No friggin' way

* My son Pat (with tattoo) of NAVAR and his fellow band member/guitarist John, getting ready to go back to NY city after recording in the studio.

This is such a cute poem, Lynn! Unlike Rusty, I DO have one (blushing) ... wrote a poem about it, too, ("The Rose Tattoo")and it's here at AD in my Den. Getting a tattoo is a personal and individual thing -- definitely not for everyone! Fun poem!
Love,
CJ

Neither do I tatoo,
To that needle I say adieu,
But don't misconstrue,
Anyone can get one, just not me & you...;) Ed
