Welcome to Reggie's
Wonderful World of Flat-Water Toobing
The
face of the waters, in time, became a wonderful book - a book that was
a dead language to the uneducated passenger, but which told its mind to
me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as
if it uttered them with a voice. And it was not a book to be read once
and thrown aside, for it had a new story to tell every day.
Just
Who are you Reggie?
Me, Cooling off in the
Styx River
back in 1998.
That's 13 years and 80 pounds ago. |
Some people call me the
space cowboy,
Some call me the gangster
of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause
I speak of the pompitous of toobin'
Cause
I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm
a lover
And I'm a sinner
I
float all day in the sun
I'm
a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm
a midnight toker
I get lots of sun on
my buns
with apologies toSteve
Miller Band
Ok,
Ok, no one calls me "Maurice." Usually I get called "Reggie." I am just
a fun loving guy from southern Alabama who loves to toob.
