She called out "Halloo"
And I dropped the ice cream tub
Very guiltily.
Very guiltily,
I crept in late from the Pub
I tripped over the cat
I tripped o'er the cat
Dropped my keys and the bottle.
That feline just smirked.
That feline just smirked
Looking smug and complacent
As cats always do.
As cats always do
She did it again. Smirking
And licking her chops.
And licking her chops
She dropped the half eaten mouse
Right there at my feet
Right there at my feet,
the road not taken; now took.
Makes me wonder, "Why?"
Makes me wonder, "Why?"
Where is Piffka's Avatar
O, where did it go?
O, where did it go?
The Erinyes by Moreau --
now a Ladybug?
Now a Ladybug?
But such a small Ladybug?
It is but a blot
It is but a blot
But the stain is permanent
My new blouse is ruined
My new blouse is ruined
That clumsy busboy spilt wine
I was his target.
I was his target -
Him, with his rolled newspaper -
Me, a bumble bee.
Me, a bumble-bee
You, the prettiest flower
It's love at first sight.
It's love at first sight
When I flip the lid off the
Godiva ice cream
Godiva ice cream
drips in the hedonist sun
on my sticky hands
on my sticky hands
you can trace where she travelled
my pet snail Slinky
My pet snail Slinky
Lives in an aquarium
He doesn't say much
He doesn't say much
Just kind of hangs around me
That old dog of mine
That old dog of mine
Never found a better friend
And I never will.
