Muscatine

Hmmm you already called them? Hopefully you didn't tell them what it was - unless it was already gone, it probably will be soon.

Oh, and this is actually one of the topics I wanted to write about soon... doesn't have many pawn shops mean a declining local economy or increase in thefts perhaps? Anyone agree, or perhaps have opinions that I can share?

Well I was there to buy a pistol she was there to hawk her ring
The broker in that pawn shop deals in almost anything.
He'll pay you for your misery or he'll sell you someone's pain
And that twinkle in his greedy eye says your loss will be his gain

She stood back in the shadows as the broker dealt with me
Her eyes were dark and desperate from some private misery
His words were so profetic when he said "You've got a steal"
I said 'Throw in one bullet and you've got yourself a deal'

Oh, Saturday Night Special is an easy thing to buy
All you gotta be is twenty-one or fifteen if you lie
Just hand the man the money and if someone's gotta die
The broker in the pawnshop won't even blink an eye.

Peace

Fer crissakes grow up will ya?

Hummmm?
