I haven’t lost my mind, you know
Although I think—believe I’ve found
A woman
Most intelligent—most kind
With whom I then proceed to fight
On what I thought
Was an auspicious night
About what—neither of us know
They only made one of these …
So you deserve it
Leaves one at a loss
For an appropriate quote
I say (into dark air)
You’re very nice
My sister—love
Last time I saw her
I begged her not to be—as liberal as me
Old flames. Old blames
This romantic boy
Writes letters in his head
And in his heart
And once in a while
He jumps up on the shelf and sits there
Looking at you
A very amusing rhyme
Make me a pillow and I’ll sleep on it
As long as it takes me
Inextricably interwoven
As the song goes—the good times
The bad times
My precious funky afternoon chat
Yes—I like to make her laugh
I haven’t lost my mind, you know Although I think—believe I’ve found A woman Most intelligent—most kind With whom I then proceed to fight On what I thought Was an auspicious night About what—neither of us know They only made one of these …
So you deserve it Leaves one at a loss For an appropriate quote I say (into dark air) You’re very nice
My sister—love Last time I saw her I begged her not to be—as liberal as me Old flames. Old blames
This romantic boy Writes letters in his head And in his heart And once in a while He jumps up on the shelf and sits there Looking at you A very amusing rhyme
Make me a pillow and I’ll sleep on it As long as it takes me Inextricably interwoven As the song goes—the good times The bad times My precious funky afternoon chat Yes—I like to make her laugh
