Sleaze Factor

A real sleazy dude for sure

 

Sleaze Factor

old Ralphy McCalister they all called him Chubs

he was a one of kind sleaze ball even rooted for the Cubs

he thought he was slick yes he thought he was cool

only thing wrong was most thought he was a tool

greasey long black hair combed high on his head

various sized zits on his face all puffy and red

he still wore high heeled boots to make him seem tall

always trying to impress saying I have to take this call

when everyone knew it was most likely his mom

he'd wink at you and say loudly hey hi there Tom

who was supposed to be some famous music man

working on a record deal for Chubs and Steely Dan

it's funny cause he couldn't play, dance or sing

his best known talent was drooling over some young thing

with his black leather jacket and skin tight jeans

only tune he could play was after eating baked beans

he wore phony gold bracelets and chains round his neck

spent time in the pokey for kiting a check

always looking for an angle to scam off a buck

his made-up stories could fill a large truck

yes on the sleaze meter he scored a staggering plus

there goes another of his pimples about to ooze puss

you know he might have had a chance at being an actor

one thing for sure was he had that special sleaze factor

This is the 3rd piece in a collection of concepts provided by virtuoso guitarist Steve Morse of the Steve Morse Band, Dixie Dreggs, Kansas. The title is one of his songs, but the words are my interpetation of that conceptual title.

I like this poem. You create a good character with few good points. Maybe none. I met many people who could talk the talk. They couldn't walk the walk. A outstanding poem. Thank you.
