Rubba Dub Dub

Rubba dub dub I’m sitting in a pub Doing some thinking And some drinking It’s still early in the day But after all, what the hey This day doesn’t matter If I’m thin or getting fatter I think I’ll buy another round But there’s no friend around I could buy one for a stranger But […]

Roadside Poem

I took […]
