72 Miles From The Sea

Are you wearing breast tightening serum?

No of course there is no disgrace

But I do think I should point out

That you don’t put it on your face

The man lived with a wife

Who was overly sentimental

And after many years of marriage

It finally sent him mental

My young son Justin was knocked out

Of the latest school’s spelling bee bout

Armageddon was the word that did it

But hey it’s not the end of the world is it

I saw something shocking

On one of those nature programs

All about racist seafood

They were the Ku Klux Clams

The grass is not greener on the other side

Of the fence, that’s what they tell me

But what if they’re wrong about that

And you never actually take a look and see

I always wanted to be somebody,

Which proved to be impolitic

Because I realize that maybe

I should have been more specific.

Dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac

His traits were a catalogue

And he stayed up all night

Deciding if there really is a dog
