Sally broke my heart at Walgreens and I cried all the way to Sears. The pebbles and the stones, life’s hard and tough terrain, and of myself I asked why I bought the shoes that walked out on me. When I paused at the gas station of love, I got the self service pump and a lady in distress. I changed her oil, she changed my life, and I went back to my fourth wife for the third time and gave her a second chance to make a first class fool out of me. I chanced upon a hall, a pool hall with some balls, and in the heat of passion was heard to say out loud, “Get off the table Mabel, the two dollars if for the beer”. I don’t usually drink but Balladeer fell for her, she fell for me, and he fell for Long-John, whoever he may be. On the ground entwined I couldn’t face the crowd but quietly I whispered, “How can I get over you if you won’t get out from under me?” and she rolled to the side left me face down in the dirt because, you see, all the girls that turn me on, turn me down. I gave her my heart and a diamond and she clubbed me with a spade all because, Sally broke my heart at Walgreens and I cried all the way to Sears! Helen |
