he was only 3 ft 4
i was sitting on my bar stool,
drinking a cold beer.
when something walk up to me.
as i look down to the floor.
he was only 3 ft 4
when i'm only 6 ft 3 and a forth
saying how's the floor,
he look up to me ,with a sh*t eating grin
saying how would you,
like to pick up your teeth off
of this clean floor.
i said ,who do you think you are,
little man,
next ,thing i knew .
i was on the floor,
picking my teeth off the floor,
he was 3 ft . 4.
how fast did he hit me ,
when i flew, threw the door.
he was fast as lighting
that is what thay said
HE WAS ONLY 3 FT.-4
i well never say that to another man again
