She sat quite naked in the center of the rug Idly thumbing through an old magazine While I lay against the headboard Admiring my new infatuation Blue moonlight spilling in the window Made her pale skin appear translucent Long yellow hair turned white She soon looked up from her “reading” Looked into my eyes And started to sing In a soft clear voice “Oh, Carey, get out your cane” A Joni Mitchell song “and I’ll put on some silver” Bestowing upon me “Oh, you’re a mean old daddy” A rare and precious gift “but I like you” And in that moment “I like you” Felt utterly “I like you” Content ~wranx In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward". |

You are one of the few men I have er.."encountered" that will tolerate Joni Mitchell...roflmao...I have EVERYTHING by her, and? alas, I have to wait until all the men leave, then I shut the curtains and sit here in the dark---and pretend...  and I HAVE a mean old daddy, and E? you AIN'T one! Now I will be singing that song all night and working HIS nerves...chuckle...thanks, I have fun with the more subtle forms of torture! |

came back to sing for Helen too: "You're in my blood like holy wine-- you taste so bitter, and so sweet... Oh I could drink a case of you and I would still be on my feet." (Helen? I sent that one to Rich and he was CONVINCED of my insanity--what izzit with men and Joni Mitchell? sigh...) |

ooops...and Ed...did I forget to say that you absolutely charmed me with this one? There was this guy? And he had the best blues collection (vinyl of course) and he would always fall asleep first (of course again--sigh) and would wake to find me totally nude but for the headphones...thumbing through his collection. Which was off limits as it was quite a valuable collection of original presses, most signed by some pretty dead folks...chuckle...and I always woke him, because I would forget and sing along...thanks for that memory, which was just misfiled somewhere in that vacuous brain cave o mine... hugs. |

If you think people have a hard time with Joni Mitchell,try Kate Bush. Loved the poem, Wranx. Mike |

Whoa, baby! I stopped breathing. You captured that moment in time with the gentle kiss of your words. Your appreciation of women comes shining through---and I, as a woman, appreciate that! ~ smiling now ~ Linda |
