Why don't I have any kids?

[jack hamilton]

Gentlemen,

I was asked the same question in rehab.
{Not drug rehab, I was in a bad wreck}
{Baylor Hospital severe, traumatic, brain injury, rehab ward}

"Jack, why don't you have any children"?
I answered, after thinking about it for a few seconds,
"because I always pull out on time."
{The room full of people all burst out laughing}
Hey! those are all clean words!
I thought about that for a long time before I said anything!
I was real careful about...
that...
too...
That really brought down the house.

One black school teacher said:
"All Leroy had to do was to pull out on time,
and we wouldn't have 'fo' grown kids at home dirtying up dishes
all day for me to wash after working all day,
then I cook dinner and then clean up that mess too.
All he had to do was to pull out on time.
Ha Ha...

But seriously...
Because 'the one I wanted' married someone else.
It happened a long time ago, 13 days out of high school.
June 13th 1969.
A rookie cop needed a bust so I never married Angela.
We went together all during Jr. high and high school.
She is the chick I would have married and had kids with,
but 'a rookie cop needed a bust'.
13 days out of high school...

A 26 year old, cigar smoking cop,
came screeching around the corner,
jumped out and was hassling us.
Angela had a matchbox and I had a joint.
I saw terror in her eyes...
and got out of the cop car and started walking off
to draw him away from her.
I heard Angela say:
"Don't shoot him!"
was jumped from behind and choked unconscious.
Got busted and got probation,
and the cop would go by Angela's house,
order parents out of the room and ask her out.
{She was 17 years old}
Her parents hated me then.

She married some short guy and had a kid,
soon divorced, but I never saw her again.
The cop was kicked off the police department for choking a minor unconscious after being handcuffed.
And is still selling used cars at some shixxx job
in the run down part of town,
unless he has smoked or drank his self to death.

Now I am 58 years old and
I don't think the world is a fit place to live.
The world is sxxx and there's no fixing it.
I will live alone with my hounds and my saddle mule,
my poultry.
I wouldn't leave my genes here
as I consider the world to not be a fit place to live.
I am still bitter as hell,
41 years later,
but now I don't like kids anyway,
didn't like being a kid and wouldn't wish it on any body.
Sad but true.


Tschüß
