Poor Dam Fool

By Jim Stewart c 2001

I guess you can say

I woke up a poor dam fool again this morning

I chased another pipe dream down a one way street.

I reach for the brass ring

But went home with an aluminum ring pull tab

I went to the end of the rainbow

I found the pot empty

I put my tooth under the pillow

The fairy left me a bill.

I wished upon a thousand falling stars

And blew out hundreds of candles

I just wasted my time.

I wrote santa letter

It came back no forwarding address

Yeah, I guess I'm a dreamer.

I'll go to sleep tonight chasing another pipe dream

And I'll wake up a poor dam fool

If I would not have tried
