DESCRIPTION:
Judith Avers
Week 10
Prompt: Distasteful

Backbone
You ain't a good man, but
You ain't the worst
You ain't the doctor
You ain't the curse
Not quite a coward, but
You ain't no King
You ain't the puppet
You ain't the string

When things are low -- you go
You wanna take it easy
When trouble's high
You fly away

You ain't the willow
You ain't the oak
You ain't the window
You ain't the cloak
You ain't the shepherd
You ain't the lamb
You ain't the question
You ain't the plan

When things are low -- you go
You wanna take it easy
When trouble's high
You fly away

Oh -- who came
And took your voice away?
Oh -- the shame
When a backbone lies in wait.
When a backbone lies in wait.
