Connetta Jean Poems

'I don't like Poetry'
Said the husband to the wife..
'I've no time for such things
I live a Farmers life'
...

I can't afford the price of gas
can't eat and pay my rent
spend every day workin'
just to cover what's been spent.
...

Last i saw her she was drivin'
with the top down on her car
Headed east on Hampton road
Lookin' like a movie star.
...

The foreman down at the factory
just laid off Jake he was hired after me
Lord, i'm moving right down that senority line
I ain't good at doing unemployment time
...

i started a seed
planted in early spring
Now July has ended
and she's a beautiful thing..
...

The cost of living's rising every day
when there ain't no work a man can't pay
when there's farmers not farming and white collars blue in jail
you know the working man just got Cut all to Helll.
...

Jeb Martin lived on a family farm
just out side of Old Jack town.
when a man named Rosco
started nosin his nose around..
...

Back On my feet again.....

Unemployments running out
I'm so tired of interviews
...

Met up with a old friend
at the corner of fifth and main
i was waiting for a light to turn
he was standing in the pourin' rain.
...

There's a place up on the hill top
on a road with cat tails growing in water colored rust..
No houses for miles, just catales
that we was leaving in a cloud of dust..
...
