1 and Done by Eric Scott for August 24, 2022

Yeah and just when was that ?

Next time take the train.

True story:Growing up in the 40’s, we lived upstairs from the lady landlord. She would always allow bums in, who knocked on the door, begging for food! I remember I was down in her kitchen one day, when one knocked, she let him in, and she gave him a bowl of soup. He stunk so bad…

After he left, I went and smelled the chair and OMG….it was awful…and she was so alarmed, she washed the chair to get the stink off of it! KIDS!

LOL!

Trailer’s for sale or rent

Rooms to let, 50 cents

No phone, no pool, no pets

I ain’t got no cigarettes

Ah, but, two hours of pushin’ broom

Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room

I’m a man of means by no means

King of the lift

Third elevator, the building at 4th and Shore

Destination penthouse floor

Old, worn out suit and shoes

I don’t pay no union dues

I smoke old stogies I have found

Short, but not too big around

I’m a man of means by no means

King of the lift

I know every rider in every lift

All of their children, they give me the stiff.

And every handout in every town

Every lock that ain’t locked, when no one’s around

I sing, trailers for sale or rent

Rooms to let, 50 cents

No phone, no pool, no pets

I ain’t got no cigarettes

Ah, but, two hours of pushin’ broom

Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room

I’m a man of means by no means

King of the lift

Trailers for sale or rent

Rooms to let, 50 cents

No phone, no pool, no pets

I ain’t got no cigarettes

Ah, but, two hours of pushin’ broom buys………..

With my apologies to Roger Miller.

Hobo #1 to businessman: We’ll let you ride to the 4th floor for a cup of joe…

Recreating the Blazing Saddles campfire scene in the elevator before it exploded.

Have some compassion for those poor unfortunates; society has given them the shaft.

Interesting that the floor flows seamlessly from the foyer through into the lift. Maybe the lift is stationary and the building moves up and down
