Fall Guy

If you’re looking for a quote
To use in your review
How about «I could have used an editor
Before I mentioned you»?
But then the first hand turns to second
And the minutes leave the hour
Until your face down in your forties
Wondering, «Where's a Higher Power?»
For the Ladies, for the Mens
In the Mercedes Benz
From the Heavens down to Hades
Through the wrong end of th lens
Underwritten, ovrpaid
Smitten with the money made
For every cat there is a kitten
Charging rent for retrograde
There’s a nail in your tire
Where’s the needle nose pliers?
You know a fall guy when you see one
You want an ally but you don’t wanna be one
