I’ve gotta quit drinking that stuff. I think my wife’s been looking around for a good Rest Home for me.


On the Job Injury

Reckon everyone’s been blasted with ads on Facebook
Mine ain’t any different, they’re about everywhere I look,

But you know there is still paper, I get a bunch of that,
Some how every scammer knows just where I’m at,

I quit with all donations . I think they auctioned off my address,
And now my poor old Mail box can’t handle all the mess,

At first I wrote “ Return to sender, I don’t have a fireplace”
But then I thought maybe I should open an harassment case,

On every envelope I discovered every post mark was the same,
Yeah it’s making sense now, a business running a mailing Game,

Well I got angry and wrote a letter threatening this Quack,
He answered me on my e-mail, Said, I couldn’t mail you back,

And I’m not too good at this computer stuff,
Unfortunately, for me right now, things are pretty rough,

You see I couldn’t meet my quota, of my mail out stuffing,
The Bosses thought I was hinting for a raise or bluffing,

My case is in review and I couldn’t answer you any quicker,
You see I bit my tongue and Filed for Workman’s Comp as a Business letter licker !!

(What was the address of that rest home?)

I couldn't exactly see where you were driving at until that last line knocked me out of my wheelchair and I laughed a hearty laugh. There is nothing worse than a paper cut from licking an envelope the wrong way. But then again, if there's Worker's Comp. involved, I say, "Why not," rather than, "Bend over so I can kiss it."
