Too kind, too happy, too much fun How can this be so? And where’s this place called “Nowhere”, That so many people go? “Chillin’” don’t mean “getting’ cold” Good is “bad”, and thin is “Phat” And how can something that we do Be known as “where it’s at”? From its shell a goose is hatched And joins the other geese But Mom and Dad and Baby Moose Still don’t make three meese Friends will stab you in the back While strangers call you “Dear” And “I’ll be back in just a minute” Is what she said last year © 2007 Gerry E.

My first read this morning, and you nailed this one. This was quietly explosive. |
