Mike du Jour by Mike Lester for May 03, 2023

Sounds like a love song to me.

“I can’t get a spot on LIV Golf ‘cause I don’t have a multi-billion dollar company to sponsor me.” (Also applicable to NASCAR drivers.)

It’s good for the soul to release one’s self of past regrets and misdemeanors…

From the backdoor of your life you swept me out dear

In the bread line of your dreams I lost my place

At the table of your love I got the brush off

At the Indianapolis of your heart I lost the race

I’ve been washed down the sink of your conscience

In the theater of your love I lost my part

And you say you’ve got me out of your system

I’ve been flushed from the bathroom of your heart

In the garbage disposal of you dreams I’ve been ground up dear

In the river of your plans I’m up the creek

Up the elevator of your future I’ve been shafted

On your calendar of events I’m last week

I’ve been washed down the sink of your conscience

In the theater of your love I lost my part

And you say you’ve got me out of your system

I’ve been flushed from the bathroom of your heart

Thank you very much

June you ’bout ready to come out and do this song with me

Right after this what we wanna do especially dedicated to Joe Bean

I see Joe here today, Joe was here last year

I see a lot of faces I saw last year, how you doin’, good to see y’all

A hell of a line good to see you in

Well they’re hanging Joe Bean this morning for killing a man in Arkansas

Funny thing about it Joe Bean never heard of the man

In fact Joe Bean has never been to Arkansas

On top of that today is Joe Bean’s twentieth birthday

What? What, you’re on the record what’d you say?

Yeah Joe Bean

I actually had an old friend call up to make amends forty years later. She had been young, artistic and erratic with weapons-grade PMS. (I know, not funny if you suffer from it.)

It’s all par of the healing process.

And how about that foot wedge on 16?
