Went down to the Jazz Club <br />To rip my soul with the Gypsy Boys <br />All I got was a boutique beer <br />And an ear full of two four noise <br />My flat old soul rolled out the door <br />Took a long walk took a loooong walk <br /> <br />Been wondering about it lately <br />How nothing seems like fun <br />Been hangin’ out for a happiness hit <br />But it just won’t come <br /> <br />Sashayed up to Miss Pearls <br />Cocked n primed n all cashed up <br />To see if one of them fancy girls <br />Would know some tricks to cheer me up <br /> <br />Rocked me rolled me honey ride <br />Up n down n side to side <br />And I’d like to say that I felt all right <br />But that’d be a lie <br /> <br />M’ flat old soul was empty <br />Like last nights bag ‘f wine <br />And it up n rolled right out the door <br />With a terrible case of petit mort <br />Never been quite so bla before <br />Took a long walk took a looong walk <br /> <br />Been wondering bout it lately <br />How nothing seems like fun <br />Been hangin out for a happiness hit <br />But … this aint the one <br /> <br />Wind was blowin’ the clouds around <br />So I went down to the bay <br />Rigged my six on m’ freestyle wave <br />And sailed away the day <br /> <br />I was blasting hopping carving gybes <br />And I tried a trick or two <br />But push tacks are elusive <br />And difficult things to do <br /> <br />An I tried n tried n tried n failed <br />Every single time <br />That’s just to be expected <br />When your stars are misaligned <br /> <br />God God God GOD <br />What is wrong with me <br />I’m so fed up with this sucky life <br />That I could bloody scream <br /> <br />Been wondering about it lately <br />Chief of my concerns <br />Been hangin out and miserable <br />Think I’ll go and eat worms <br /> <br />I’ll put some tragic music on <br />And then I’ll eat some worms<br /><br />David S Dennis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hangin-out-and-moaning-about-it/
