Muddy Waters Sang A Song About This Woman

________________________________________________________________________________________________

She ran off with the garbageman

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)
