I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me. It’ll happen to you!
We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. I didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
Lmao I showed that to my grandpa once and he couldn’t stop laughing 😂
sometimes it is what it is not…
I don't find it weird and scary, I just think it's lame when they try so hard to be noticed and/or relevant.
