A cheap pine casket

"The kind they put people like me in."

you said


"...people like me..." you said

people like me...

What did you mean by

"...people like me..."?


If by "people like me" you meant

people who drive trucks

and who

never got married

and who

work harder than they get paid to


and people who

give more than they have

and who

expect little

and who

never went to college

and who

visit their mothers daily


and people who

hug and kiss

and who

let you shoot their gun

and who

know more than just the names of all their neighbors


Then like people like you

I hope they bury me too

in a cheap pine casket.
