Hi Pearl
WHERE'S THE RENT?
You don't have to raise your voice
YOU PAY NOW!
I can give you half
YOU PAY NOW, B@#$&!
Hey, don't talk to me like that, ok
I'M TIRED OF THIS CRAP!
Hey, I thought I was clear in my email that I need a couple weeks
I WORK TOO HARD
Can I just get two more weeks
I WANT MY MONEY
You need to relax
YOU'RE AN A@@#$%&
I WANT MY MONEY B@#$&!
Don't call me b@#$&, I'm a grown man!
B@#$& B@#$& B@#$&
You're mean
Don't make fun of me crying
YOU'LL BE EVICTED
I'm not doing so well Pearl
I PUT YOU ON THE STREETS
Pearl, I'm gonna pay you. I'm working three jobs right now
I'm working nights. I'm driving a cab
I'm inside right now with my buddy going over my resume
I'M GONNA SMACK YOU
Ok, you know what, you need to relax
I WANT MY MONEY!!
Why do you need your money so fast, come on
I NEED TO GET MY DRINK ON
You scare me. You're an alcoholic
CAN I HAVE FOUR BEERS?
Seriously, you're an alcoholic. Yeah, you're drunk, I knew it
You're already drunk
I'M JUST BUZZED
Look, you're in no condition to deal with this right now
I'M TAKING MY BEER
Just take your beer and get out of here ok
Yeah, we'll talk tomarrow
This isn't over
COME MOMMY

Hit the road Jack!
And don't you come back
No more no more no more no more
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more
What you say?
Oh employer oh employer don't treat me so mean
You're the meanest employer that I've ever seen
I guess if you say so
I'll have to pack my things and go
Now boss now boss don't you treat me this a way
Cause I'll be back on my feet some day
Don't care if you do, all is understood
You want too much money and that ain't no good
I guess if you say so
I'll have to pack my things and go
Hit the road Jack
And don't you come back no more!
Don't you come back no more!

I got a Halloween decoration
It's about a man known throughout the nation
A yard sign with metal posts to hold it in
Donald Trump
Make America Great Again!
Do I support this man?
Of course I don't, tell me how I can
I am going to vote for Jill Stein
This woman makes me feel fine
I wonder though how can she win?
When only four tenths of a percent of the votes wanted her in
That is about 400,000 votes compared to 55,000,000 that won
Barack Obama had four more years of fun
I'm sure he had a ball
Playing golf, driving up health insurance, and all
How could we do any worse!
It all makes me want to curse
What the H@$$ are we doing?
Seem like we are stealing out of someone's purse

What if there was a worldwide minimum wage of 15 dollars an hour?
What would someone in Vietnam or China make in a year?
So let's multiply it out
15 hour work day times seven days a week equals 105 hours
Let's say they also get time and a half after 40 hours
So the first 40 hours would equal 600 dollars
The next 65 hours would equal 1,462.5 dollars
Add them together and you get 2,062.5 dollars
Multiply that out times 52 weeks and you get 107,250 dollars
What do they get now?
It's around a dollar an hour with no overtime
So they get 105 dollars a week and 5,460 dollars a year
Where does the 101,790 dollars a week go?
What do the owners of these companies do with all that money?
How much do you really need to be comfortable at their expense?
When is Michael Jordan going to go to Nike and demand good pay?
Probably not too soon as he just became a billionaire this year
Off of shoes made by neglected workers making a dollar an hour

I love to watch TV
One of the greatest things to me
I grew up from 1974 to 1986 with no way to record
I finally found a VCR in 1987 I could afford
Then they changed my cable just recently
So I couldn't record for free
I got my DVR a week ago
Now I can fast forward without going slow
I can record multiple shows at one time
For the cost of 100 dimes
Shows I couldn't record before
I have waiting at my DVR recorded store
Johnny Carson, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert too
Family Feud, the Olympics, All in the Family to name a few
It is so much fun, almost as much fun as singing in my car
That I am having with my new DVR

Just a good ol boys
Never meaning no harm
Beats all you ever saw
Been off the TV ever since
They went after that flag on their car
Bill Cosby met the same fate
When he drugged a bunch of women
He was trying to date
Then there's Pepe Le Pew
Making fun of the French
Seem all they want is a fanny to pinch
Speedy Gonzalas
You gotta go too
Moking Mexicans makes the censors hate you
Just some good ol shows
Never meaning no harm
Beats all you ever saw
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day political correctness was born

I love to complain
And resturants are fun to pick on
I go to the yelp website and just look for bad reviews
I used to work at Hardee's
So I have a lot of empathy for anyone working in the food service
Complaining about work, spent a lot of time on that
Mostly with dealing with difficult people
Every four years I complain about the presidential candidates
This year Hillary gets tops for complaints
She even has a movie made about her
Most of it focuses on the history of the democratic party
Trump is the best speaker, but not voting for a republican
If I had to pick a worst president of my life time
Ronald Reagan
Sometimes I get carried away with complaining
"Would you like some cheese with your whine?"

I first played you in 1981
You were a lot of fun
Eating cherries, strawberries, peaches, pretzels, and apples
Eating pears and bananas made you able
To have two children later on with your Pacman
After dots, power pellets, and blue ghost you ran
A beauty mark on your cheek and a bow on you head
You kept yourself well fed
So here's to you Ms. Pacman who is 35 years young
To all the people who played you were a lot of fun!

You know what we have to do
We need to take better care of ourselves
We need to eat more fruits and vegetables
We need to be nice to our neighbors
We need to bike and walk instead of using our cars
We need to elect politicians who really care about us
We need to elect a president who will balance the budget
We need to have police who respect all people
We need to get rid of all the cameras and the drones
We need a worldwide minimum wage that respects the dignity of people
We need to go to Mars and establish settlements there and other moons
We need to mind our own business when it comes to religion
We need to laugh more
We need to stop saying mean things that hurt others feeling
We need to have able bodied people work who can work
We need to quit making excuses about not having free medical care
We need people to not have so many kids who cannot take care of them
We need people to leave their cell phones off at the movie theater
We need people to leave their cell phones off while driving
We need to take the licenses away from drunk drivers
We need more love in the world
We need to forgive ourselves

There is something really wrong here in America
All these people getting shot
How many times have I seen the flag at half mast?
Why?
The last one was five cops killed in Dallas
Why does this happen so much here compared to other countries?
I believe there are a lot of factors that make this happen
President Johnson allowing black women to get paid to kick men out
We had a higher marriage rate among blacks during slavery than now
Abortion being legalized in 1974
If we can't protect the most innocent, then why bother with the rest?
No paid maternity leave for women to bond with their babies
If everyone knows the first six months are crucial for good kids
Then what happens to that child if they don't get that attention?
Death penalty, shouldn't be any
If we are more interested in revenge that living in a safe place
Then we will continue to see criminals copy the state
Free health care
If we care for one another, then people will shoot each other less
I won't add gun control
If every dad would take their children hunting
Then they would know first hand what bullets can do to flesh
And never point that weapon at another human being

Bernie's out
So what do we have left
Trump, Hillary, and Johnson
Oh my!
Trump reminds me of Hitler
I've even heard Hillary called Hitlary
Johnson is better, but won't protect our jobs
And his running mate Bill Weld
Reminds me of the mad scientist in Tarantula
Or the old man in Pet Semetary
Take your pick
Someone about him is creepy
Jill Stein is a breathe of fresh air
She seems to really be a good person
Truly good people are getting harder and harder to find in politics
Will I vote for Jill Stein?
I'm still undecided
But she's looking better all the time
Especially with all the mud slinging going on

Violence in sports
You damn right!
Give me some football!
Give me a batter charging the mound in baseball!
I wanna hear Trump make another stupid speech
War and death
War and death
Go together like crack and meth
Cause I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other
Here comes the tornado
There goes the hurricane
Only one thing I like better than a cruise
And that my friends is the 6 o clock news!
