HAZELTINE TASTES 
LIKE METAL

It used to be they'd say  -  when someone

was angry  -  he or she was 'mad enough

to spit nails.' Now, did you ever? What

the heck did that even mean? No one

now, in their right mind, would think

of such a thing. They'd call for a doctor

first, or talk this crap out, or get carted

away in a jacket with tied sleeves.

-

I can remember all these things because

I went straight (speaking of strait) to the

Devil myself, long ago, back when I 

was apt to spit nails about lots of things, 

and the everyday ones too. But that's

all over now. These days, I just sit

it all down, and read another book.

I don't do nothing for the fiddler;

that way I don't have to pay the

fiddler for nothing too.
