I got it good and that aint bad

I got my sorry self on this bus. It's the 52. I didn’t even pay a dime. Or maybe I did, though it certainly doesn’t feel that way. Government issued freedom at the expense of being educated is a blessing. So let me count more of my blessings.

I got my keys clipped to my waist: car key, house key, bike key. These are the keys to life.

I got my hands, my feet, my eyes and ears, and I think my heads screwed in pretty good today.

Got work at the Y later.

Got my wifey that’s most likely sleeping

And I got the open road waiting to get hitched for a weekend getaway. A good escape from the hustle and smustle aint a bad thing.

I got my blessings.

I got it good and that aint bad.
