 Dumby was laying in bed 

He'd just come out of the operating room but there wasn't a room for him.
He was kind of a mess. His hand was all bandaged up.
There was a bunch of commotion and they wheeled a kid past him who was out cold and was sheet white.
There was more commotion and he heard the kid come to.
"You're lucky your friends brought you in. Sometimes they just leave them on the doorstep and we don't know they're out there."
"Please don't tell the cops. This happened before. Im gonna get really in trouble if you tell them."
"Sorry kid we have to."

 Salty's dad was drunk

"Hey what are you doing?"
"I'm going to bed, I gotta work tomorrow"
"Fuck work come and have a drink with your old man"
"I can't dad I gotta hit the hay"
"Fuck the hay!"

 At John's Char-Broil we ran into Salty

He had his usual yellow hoodie on
"Hey guys, what's up?"
"Dumby's at the hospital. He blew off three of his fingers."
"WHAT?! The FUCK. How'd he do that?!"
"He found a gun in his grandparents attic and decided to shoot it. It blew up and blew three of his fingers off!"
"FUCK! Jeez"
"Lucky no one else got hurt"
"The doctors gonna try to re-attach his fingers"
"Can they do that?"
"I guess they can try"
"Have you seen Attila?"
"Yeah he was here. Said they're going up to the dam"
"I gotta work in the morning"
"See ya later Salty"
"Okay yeah fuck n A"

 Dumby went to the operating room

So we split. 
"That nurse was hot!"
"No shit Sherlock"
"Where did he get that gun?"
"He said he found it in his grandparents attic"
"Jeez"
"Let's go to John's Char-Broil"
"Fuck yeah"

 The nurse gave him a shot 

To kill the pain
He was crying and cursing
  "I blew off my own FUCKING fingers!"
We'd put the fingers on ice with the Modelos
"The doctor will try to reattach them"
She had nice long brown hair
And was good looking
Dumby was moaning and weeping
We kept looking at the pretty nurse
She was hot

 The green mountain dumby

Pulled out an old gun
It looked like a .32 police revolver
 He said watch this 
 And aimed at a rusty can
The gun went off and blew up in his hand
Three fingers were splattered on the ground
He howled like an October moon
 A creature of green
said something derogatory 
 But it meant nothing
He was stupid
I kinda felt bad that
  He was dumb
He'd shown it before
   But it is what it is
I closed my book
   And fell asleep

 Attila the crumb bum

    Was a notch below
But the stars were twinkling
   Our blood was stirred
   We were high as kites on a moonlit night
       Porcupines were sauntering by
  Yo Attila
   But he'd left for a char-broiled burger
We calmly opened another ice cold beer 
"Dang, this beer's cold"
