Honey Dippers Blues Poem by cheryl davis miller

I wear a plain white suit
start fresh ev'ry mornin'
Wear white gloves on my hands
for much more than warmin'
With a smile on my face
and a song in my heart
Till I get to the site
for the workday to start.
```````
Chorus;
Then my nose wrinkles up
I break out in a sweat
It's a good payin' gig
but I have some regret
I answered an ad said,
'travel on the highways'
it never said a word
'bout a Honey Dipper's days.
```````
I locate the hole then
cover nose with a rag
I open the hole up
can not help then but gag
don't mean to complain it
pays the bills when they're due
just tellin' you I've got
the Honey Dippers blues.
```````
Chorus;
Then my nose wrinkles up
I break out in a sweat
It's a good payin' gig
but I have some regret
I answered an ad said,
'travel on the highways'
it never said a word
'bout a Honey Dipper's days.
