Felix is working the hydropulper
down at May’s Paper.
It’s hot, smelly, rat infested,
and noisy to boot.

Felix drags the chain,
burns off the rubbish.
It’s heavy work.

Felix, he doesn’t give a rat’s ass.
He can take this kind of crap.
He’s like that,
just tough as nails.

He’s sweating like a hog,
beads of perspiration
running down his glistening back,
wetting down his shorts,
and just about crawling up his bum.

Felix, he doesn’t give a rat’s ass.
He can take this kind of crap.
He’s like that,
just tough as nails.

When he goes home,
he’ll take a bath,
and then Sally will feed him,
something nice.

Bobby

Geez, looks like no one ever worked a paper mill. Never worked a big old nasty hydropulper.

It's a pity. They're loads and loads of fun.

I do work security at one of the gates at our paper mill here in my city and I have some stories I could share (just hanging around the guys who tell them)

but that's another lifetime for me since I'm not doing well at writing these days

After a day like that, Felix would definitely need a bath!

~ and would deserve to have his wife Sally prepare him something nice to eat.

Passing shadows,
