For Life; My Junkyard Dog Richard L. C. Ptacek

The song 'Perfection' begins the book with the struggle to attain just that - perfection. 'I Do Not Want to Be', 'Once in a While', and 'Ain't You Got Something To Do' add to the Christian edge! At the opposite end of the spectrum, 'There Was Beer in the Backseat', 'A mission from, God', and 'Drunk' tell tales of light hearted debauchery. The poem 'With Me' tells of complete togetherness and 'The Voice' talks of how it feels when love calls! 'My Baby' and 'That is What I Said' tell of how not to act in a love relationship! 'Sitting Fishing' and 'The River Trip' tell tales of fishing along the Missouri. 'You Made the Baby Cry' lets us know some of the reasons the baby might cry if, one parent decides to leave. 'Ain't It A Shame' deals with some disgraceful things that can happen. 'Nuts' is a poem that deals with the frustrations of being locked away, and 'War Games' deals with the feelings one might have when a war breaks out and how he might feel afterwards!
