Bean & Gone

[Johntee]

I'm ekeing out a can of beans

and wondering all the while

where I got the health and strength

to walk that country mile.

When you said that we were through

and threw me out the door,

dispossessed of La-Z-Boy

I found what legs are for.

Yeah, life's not made of roses,

these thorns are tougher stuff,

and I see just how sweet life was

now I've got it rough.

Ah Johntee, I always knew deep down you'd rhyme some day - nicely done!

[Johntee]

So I get an accolade for a comic song?
Never look a gift horse in the mouth!

When it comes to cans, I prefer soup to beans. Nevertheless, I relate to this.

I hear the music behind this, Johntee. Quite amusing. :-)

[Johntee]

Thanks Muttado. As a music-lover your appreciation counts

[RhymeLovingWriter]

I like it. It's got that wry country sense of humor rolling it along.

[Johntee]

Thanks RLW. Inspiration strikes strangely sometimes

[AlexandratheLate]

Sounds like a country song. Very witty.

[Johntee]

Thanks Alex, A first line that evolved unexpectedly.
