I wonder where my girlfriend went,
Where did she go, my little fawn?
She didn't even leave her scent,
I wonder where my girlfriend went.
I wonder if she paid the rent,
Some said she went to Babylon.
I wonder where my girlfriend went.
Where did she go, my little fawn?

Dear Jerry, you have beautifully mastered the form and I love the sound that I hear in this and how gently you wondereed about the "fawn". Very lovely!

Love,

Thanks, Ice. This is the second one I have tried. Flubbed the third line in the first one. Appreciate your comment.

Absolutely delightful, Jerry, and as you can imagine, I love the part about the litle fawn - I can just see you talking to him/her with his/her beautiful big eyes looking up at you the way my Benji-dog looks up at me, with his gorgeous big eyes.  Come to think of it, he does look quite a bit like a little fawn!

Nope, no more weird happenings, so far, thank goodness.  And yes, the little fawn really does seem to have been the star of the show.
