Deadweight Poem by Dorsey Baker

baby you are dead weight
and I just can't get you
off the ground
dead weight
and I just can't let you
pull me down
don't want to do your part
so much dead weight
that it's breaking my heart
burden on my back
so many
tears in my eyes
you know time don't wait
for no one
you know just how fast it flies
too much dead weight
baby you are just
too much dead weight
cant put up with you
because all you seem to do
is you just want to
pull me down
and baby you are just too much
dead weight
to carry around
