Crude and rude

I\'m crude and rude

They say I have no refinement

I can be lewd, go nude

I don\'t like modern confinement

 

I live in a house hewn by an ax

on my walls there\'s no paint

On the wooden floors there\'s no wax

some call it quaint, but a saint I ain\'t

 

On my window there\'s no screen,

in fact it has no glass

Out back there\'s a latrine,

over which I hang my ass

 

No LED\'s please

I prefer candle light

Lights are too bright, my eyes find ease

where a dimmer glow, preserves my sight

 

The sound of raindrop streams

on clay tiles revealing,

wooden, thick, rough cut beams,

where there\'s no ceiling

 

No styrofoam or plastic

a straw hat for my head

a cord for my shorts not elastic

I go au natural to bed

 

Through some holes vines grow

Press board, don\'t you even think

And wallboard no, so the cracks can show

a sunrise my eyes can drink

 

Some said I\'m uncouth when I pulled my own tooth

I cook my food over fire

the last time I saw a doctor was in my youth

I fix everything with wire

 

Water I bring from the spring,

electricity I made an exception,

so I can refrigerate food that I bring
