Bad Back


He had a bad back.

His whole family had that bad back.

The doctor finally put him on a special diet.

All he could eat was food and stuff.

But a can of Vienna sausages

And some mayonnaise on a saltine cracker, or two,

Would give him all the energy he needed

To pull casing on that Grigg’s lease,

And to hand over his entire paycheck

To his old lady.
