Aim Low

By Elton Camp
Cracks in the plaster and bare floor
However, Bubba doesnt care for more
He always felt it to be a mistake
To say a big difference hed make
To do better, theres no need to try
Just as long as hes able to eke by
Because theres a fridge with beer
Bubba sees no reason he should fear
As for wearing fancy clothes
What need has he of those!
For his families garb and stuff
The Thrift Shop is good enough
Using food stamps hes able
To keep food on the table
His son he tells it doesnt behoove
His lot in life to attempt to improve

Rember, son, the bottom of the barrel gets emptied last
