Fresh Pond

Fresh Pond
by Lionel Ronzer

Tackle box junkies
Thats me and my brother
Tellin stories of the richmond boys
Tellin stories of the big catch

Sippin drinks on the boat
Catnap under the willow tree
Brother catch a fish for me
Test it for disease

Put it under a microscope
Smell the gills
Remove your goggles to get a closer look
Give it a shot of antibiotics
Make sure it will be ready for the family
Stethascope, monitor its temperature

Feed our parents with this local fish
Be careful mom is allergic to certain flavors
Now her face is swollen and she is dizzy
Lay her down on the ground
Face down so she can release the bad food
into the gutter so there will be nothing to clean up.

Take a knee and pat her back
Brush her hair, spread it out on the ground
So it looks like a wig next to a shirt
Now stand up, pick mom up
Help her to her feet
tell her to take a seat
On your back and crab walk her home
Where you will meet up with me.
