Old Dogs And Young Fleas
I respected the old dogs the most when it came to writing .
They knew the miles saw through bullshit easily .
They allowed me into the inner circle I listened when they spoke.
Cause you never got anywhere in this life over time without being smart.
They bared the storms before the net .
Kids found publication far to easy these days .
Clowns and publisher's were many .
Those that held titles were seldom what they pretended to be .
I was a kid to them but still they showed me respect I didnt deserve .
I admired them beyond words to embrace the page was to fight nature itself .
To understand pain and only laugh and say to life .
"Is that all you got?"
You will learn more with you're mouth shut and you're ears open .
Then with your head stuck up your so called modern intellectual ass and your gums flapping .
They called me a kid and young punks called me a dinosaur.
But as long as they all considered me a writer is all that ever meant a damn to me.
