In the Bag by David R SpellmanI’m bringing home a bag of shit
Oh Dear, now don’t you have a fit.
It happened now just down the road
Our dog, he had to drop his load
And I was left with choice to make –
To leave it there or should I take
It was then I heard the neighbor yell
“Hey, you know that’s gonna smell!
You’d better take that bag in hand
And get that thing right off my land.
You realize I know where you live
And believe me sir, that I will give
A shit that’s yours right back to you.
So take your bag and grab that doo.”
Oh, my dear, don’t have a fit
I’m bringing home a bag of shit!
