In Honky Tonks And Dives Poem by Edwin Tanguma

In Honky Tonks And Dives

I am one of the poor
I barely make a dime
My rotten poetry
At times don't even rhyme

I think grits are yummy
Cooked with lobster's kin shrimp
But I'm not a player
I'll never be a pimp

I don't need your money
I have earned a signet
The rich can't buy heaven
Stick this in ya'lls vignette

Ya'll rich can live it up
Enjoy your Mary lives
I'll continue slumming
In honky tonks and dives
