Christmas Eve 2006

twas the night before x-mas
all cooped up in my house
with no interweb to save me
from stir craziness about

all my friends have families
those families have homes
and i end up driving
to south st. louis alone

this may be the first year
of fears that set in
when i was a kid and then
the alcoholism begins

it's alright though
even tho i am broke
i can afford my pbr
but my life is a joke

when you can't reach your friends
your family doesn't care
you sit at home watching pbs
and then cut your hair

random thoughts bounce inside your head
as words beat at their britches
but you remember that one time
when you had em in stitches

what do you do
when you've got too much time
being alone and
pretending to rhyme
