Cat Piss Blues<\/b><\/p>\n
\n
I\u2019m on my third beer<\/p>\n
and listening to a scratchy whorl of vinyl,<\/p>\n
a Mississippi delta blues singer<\/p>\n
moaning his way through a checklist<\/p>\n
of sorrows, mainly relating<\/p>\n
to the woman who done him wrong.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Additionally, he ain\u2019t got no friends.<\/p>\n
The bank gonna foreclose. Devil<\/p>\n
got his soul in hock for an old guitar.<\/p>\n
\n
Dude hasn\u2019t mentioned it yet,<\/p>\n
but I strongly suspect his dog is dead.<\/p>\n
\n
This morning, removing the car cover<\/p>\n
after a night without rain,<\/p>\n
my hands were wet and sourly scented.<\/p>\n
\n
My woman is faithful, my friends are true,<\/p>\n
I\u2019m up to date with the mortgage<\/p>\n
and I never waited by the crossroads<\/p>\n
at midnight. I don\u2019t have a dog.<\/p>\n
\n
As a result of the latter, my neighbour\u2019s cat<\/p>\n
marked out my driveway.<\/p>\n
It woke up this morning, no hellhound<\/p>\n
on its trail, woke up this morning,<\/p>\n
no hellhound on its trail,<\/p>\n
pissed on my car and wandered off.<\/p>\n
Cursory flick of the tail.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
