Muddy Waters Sang A Song About This Woman

________________________________________________________________________________________________

left a Hefty Bag on the table
with a note that read
When you get lonely
visit your Aunt Mabel

Her absence in itself
is not what makes me bitter
I don't mind her taking the cat
but she could have
cleaned the litter

I checked the liquor cabinet
there was not a drop to drink
They had a glorious last supper:
all the evidence
was in the sink

There is no justice in this world
to you I must confess:
When your woman runs off
with a garbageman
and he doesn't even
clean the mess

***

PAUL OLIVERIO
(1977)
