I have only been taught one thing,
and it's the reason I ware my wedding ring.
No food in the house and the rent needs to be paid,
so I pull my case out and place it where I just laid.
I open it up and grab one end,
and look down the shaft to see if it has a bend.
No as straight as they come,
only to be made to get money from the dumb.
Past down from father to son,
I closed the case knowing what need to be done.
I pulled up the old drive,
knowing the smell of chalk making me come alive.
I walked in to music and the crack of the balls,
looking around at the suckers that lined the walls.
I smiled and order my usual drink,
hoping that someone would give me a good link.
Joe the guy that ran the joint,
told me of some suckers that were there for no real point.
I got up and walk to the back,
eager to unleash my attack.
There they were fresh faced and cocky as hell,
just as I like them just let me get in my shell.
I smiled and asked for a game,
they replied if it for a 10 spot what's the shame.
Rich and dumb oh I love the combination of this,
I pulled back the cue ball for it's first kiss.
I waited, studying their every move,
quickly giving them the winning curve.
One game turned into many I lost,
then I saw soon it would be there cost.
The bank was up to 100 dollars and I wanted another chance,
the man laughed and said no, I flashed 100, and he said let's dance.
I went to work without hesitation with every ball hitting its mark,
after I was done I left 200 and known as a pool shark.
