Tough Times on the Street

who was the baddest cat in town
who was all brute, no brain, all brawn
who were the loudmouths
always spouting lip
always running cons

who were the quiet ones
who always knew the score
where the bodies were buried
who buried them
and much, much more

am i writing about past rough times
on the neighborhood street corner
or am i writing about the corner office
tough times on Main Street
and tough times in things corporate
