once bitten,bite back

Duane Boyd

My buddy has this lttle dog
that kept biting at my heels
I picked him up and bit him back
and said now you know how it feels.
He yelped and whinned and wimpered
then hid behind the chair
he could stay there till the rooster crowed
I didn't really care.
Don't get me wrong I do like dogs
but not those little yappers
the ones that are so darn small
you could flush them down a crapper.
these little dogs they think their tough
till something sets them straight
it's true i really bit that dogand man did it feel great.

Duane Boyd

Born in Illinois,june of fifty nine,I've been to almost every state,and every ones been fine.I love to go to rainbow gatherings and meet people from around the world.I love to hear original songs,I'm tired of cover tunes.as a musician I love to write and share my songs,once you've learned the words I hope you'll sing along.I'm just an old hippy and I've choose this life I live,I have no regrets.I do believe that we could achieve world peace if they would legalize marijuana for every day use.I gave it up to raise my kids,but I;m still in favor of it,peace to all who read this and even to those that don't:} more…
