Ode to Joe Digs

by Cherise   Mar 21, 2007


This is for my friend Joe Digs
could get you out of a problem
No matter how big.
Growing grass in his own back yard
no matter how small
he could make you go far.

He took me into his apartment
Through the kindness of his heart
Helped me fix the things,
that tore me apart.
I'll say mind expansion never seem so sweet
within a half hour
I was kissing his feet.

He held me in his arms
Said he wasn't going away
That I'm not longer lost now
and in his arms I'll stay.
in ways he helped me find myself,
said he'd make me rich
well white powder was my wealth.

Yea, Joe Digs knows his way around town,
go there for just one night
and he'll be sure to take you down.
Put food in your stomach
and clothes on your back
make you feel like you belong
then turn you on to crack.

    Sorry to be a nit-picker, but in the first stanza you wrote he had a backyard and in the second one you wrote he lived in an apartment. Sort of inconsistant, but it was a good poem. Something different to read..

    It is good, well done. Its interesting but somehow you can't help but feel you know it. I like that, its a powerful tool.

    Hm. Very interesting.
    You don't rhyme the end of the line, yet it [does] rhyme and flows every well. Nicely written. =]
