The Pit Man

smokeout in the backyard 
grandpa burns the ribs again

someone said orange juice
someone said lemon juice
someone said vinegar

someone said sugar
someone said honey

someone said marinade
someone said seasoning
someone said rub

someone said that's not enough
someone said that's way too much

someone said mustard

someone said Worcestershire
someone said what's your sister
someone said wishsheerer

someone said the fire is too high
someone said you got to kindle it

someone said brush it
someone said dip it
someone said flip it

someone said let it sit

someone said spray
someone said sprinkle

someone said they're done

someone said it's about time

someone said my stomach 
is touching my spine

someone runs up with a 
paper plate

someone said you had a
hamburger and a hotdog
you already ate

someone started crying 

grandpa never says a word

he's on his seventh beer

Marvin Gay and the O Jay's

singing in the bacground

in surround sound besides 

grandpa is hard of hearing

he don't see too good either

he feeds ribs to the fire

no one can tell him when

it's done and how it's done
