Attitudes

                   Attitudes

                   Are like 40-Flavors

                   - 1 bag of fortune cookies

                   - 2 bags of shit

                   ('cause somebody about to get hit)



                   One day some one questioned

                   My being a vegetarian

                   Question: "So, you mean to tell me,

                   you eat no kind of meat?"



                   After reaching into

                   My bag of attitudes

                   The fortune read:

                   - 'If you don't like the answer,

                   don't ask the question.'



                   Then came my reply

                   Answer: "The only meat I eat is female."



                   Now this took them for a loop

                   They couldn't believe this

                   Was said cool, calm, serious

                   And not a smile in place



                   One day I decided to take

                   This particular 8hr work shift

                   Out of my daily routine

                   Told my boss - "Have a family emergency

                   that needs my attention."

                   Question: "Well, what type of an

                   emergency is it?"

                   (you feeling me on this one)



                   After reaching into

                   My bag of attitudes

                   The fortune read:

                   - 'Ask me no questions, I tell you no lies.'



                   Then came my reply

                   Answer: "My dog died?have to

                   take him to the Vet."



                   Now - I don't have a dog

                   But, who the hell is he

                   To ask me

                   About an emergency

                   In my family



                   Like I said...



                   Attitudes

                   Are like 40-Flavors

                   - 1 bag of fortune cookies

                   - 2 bags of shit

                   ('cause somebody about to get hit)
