Roman Sandals in the streets
Hot flames of fire in the sheets
(just kiddin)
Tying those straps just right
Please don't make them too tight
Taking a look at the fold of my knee
Squeezin' together, a butt I did see.
Around and round, just walkin around
Liftin each foot & hittin the ground
Garbagy onions and melted tar
Please get me out of here & take me afar
Take it easy, enjoy the sights
Don't need to make Hollywood lights
You brought me here and you brought me there
Little did I know, my story I would share
I jumped the northern border without talkin to a cop
I tried my best, but never did, find a train that I could hop
Long fields of corn and free food with each stay
There was desert sun when I said "Hey, you goin my way?"
I met the greatest people, they were happy and sad
Only a couple of them were a little bad
And this is the story of black cats and poppy
The sandals were always with me & that ain't too sloppy
Terrific poem!
