WELL-FRAMED AMERICAN

 

Now you know its not gone away,

So you better just let it stay.

There are better things to do today,

 

Door man Joe, kinda Seed man Pete,

Showin’ up to work

A day on their feet,

 

You gotta do

Like we all always had to do

Only now out loud they know about you.

They knew what they always knew,

 

Ivan’s kinda “hmmm” and

Rita’s surely “yup!”

Joe and Pete once

Had a straight race to stabilize,

 

Wives, kids churches and Sunday dinners

Everyone around was the same old sinner.

Now you know its not gone away,

So you better just let it lay,

 

Content that character,

Like a ship and a mariner.

Sorta, another line stander,

Both weary, friendly,

 

Just getting done, what needs to be done

The same ole’ American,

The same frame

…American
