What, he wondered, had he gotten himself
Into somewhere around Nablus
With too far behind them
And still a long way to go
She was a good girl probably
the best he could hope for
And their life together should
Be sweet despite what
Her folks said
Still, this was a crazy
Way to start a family with
A ninety mile walk to
Say who’s your
Daddy
And that is the crux
Of the question, who is
The daddy since it sure as hell
Ain’t me, babe
As you sit on your ass
And ponder in your heart
That I may be the ass
Is what I am mulling
Over the things I don’t
Understand
