Cut And Dry Guy

Ossie Moore is a man of few talents and carpentry wasn’t one. When I heard that Ossie worked as a carpenter on the corner house that was being built in the neighborhood, indeed I was surprised. But of course as the story continued, more became familiar

 

Cut And Dry Guy

 

Carpentry was not his first calling nor was it his last

Unable to find a forte he changed vocations fast

There was an opening when some carpentry work came in

 

And so Ossie showed up with his tool belt, ready to start working

Now the foreman saw Ossie looking and able bodied man

Didn’t question Ossie’s abilities and Ossie began

 

Doing everything they gave him like an expert

Raised the power saw and when it dropped below shout “Any body hurt?”

You got to be more careful the foreman said there was blood everywhere

 

Got to get a bag with some ice to put in yah ear

Unable to under, Ossie replied, foreman you must admit

Yah wrong! Dah ‘aint my ear, my ear had a pencil behind it!
