House your head?

God, no. You can't ever tell him
That.
He wanted me to clean his house,
Said he'd give me fifty bucks.
Made me remember what Grant looked like,
Said it'd be okay if I mixed up Grant and Graham.
Damn him.
Should have asked how big the house was.
Should have asked if he would adjust for inflation.
What's fifty bucks in a herd this big?
Got it done, I guess,
But what's fifty bucks
When there are so many mouths to feed
And daddy needs new shoes
And glasses
And teeth?
He can't ever believe that. He musn't ever believe it.
Tell him once in a while, just make sure he doesn't
Believe it.
Must be leaves stuck in the gutters,
But that was not part of the deal.
It'll take more than a fifty
To tackle the outside.
