Backfur

The hair on my belly is touching my chest - the hair on my chest is touching my shoulders

It looks like I'm wearing a permanent sweater - I'm working my way toward backfur

The hair on my ass is rising up - the hair on my head is falling down

I got a spider mole that's spreading her legs - she's laying her eggs in backfur

I had a smooth body 'long time ago - then gravity gave me a few folds

Somebody shot me with a beast gun square on - the pellets were seeds of backfur

My body's 'lot wider than it used to be - too much a taste of the old country

Inherited my simian ancestry - I'm working my way toward backfur

I used to think I was invincible (10 years ago)

So many things I didn't know

I never knew how cruel the world can be (silly me)

My time was not complete

Poor me (poor me) I'm dying

I pushed my mind to a future height - and balanced with a pre-historic body type

Just give me my speedos and put me on a beach - I'm sporting my rolls of backfur

I keep a short comb on a stick - to pick out the occasional deer ticks

I can't afford electrolysis - face down I'm a rug of backfur

I'm pushing harder but I'm losing speed (moving so slow)

So many miles left to go

I knew but couldn't feel mortality (silly me)

My time was not complete

Poor me (poor me) I'm dying

I used to be a fatty fatback - an inch away from my heart-attack

I'm pushing my luck I'm chasing hot dog trucks - I'm shaded from the sun with backfur

I'm hosting a family of mosquitoes - they live beneath the thicket of Velcro

They can't find my cholesterol-high-blood-rich skin - they can't find their way out of my backfur

I didn't know my life was on the clock

Won't close my eyes anymore

A new year passes every time I blink - or so I think

My time was not complete

Poor me - I'm dying
