I think you're a page behind us, Aidan dear
Hair, tied with a bow.
She made her way to first grade.
Glowing and ready.
Thanks Clary - sorry about that.
Glowing and ready
They lay on the big brass bed
And kissed, carefully.
And kissed carefully-
not knowing where it would lead-
wanting all - and more.
Wanting all, and more
Important, wanting it NOW,
That's modern living.
That's modern living.
But me, I would go backwards
To when less was more.
To when less was more
To a time when romance shone
Intimate once more
Intimate once more
they forgot the distances
that once stood between.
That once stood between
The longing they had once known
Only one more day
Only one more day
It is what I tell myself-
Then, what will I find?
Then, what will I find?
A vast cavern of golden
asses in a line?
asses in a line
neighing and braying loudly
have to have their day.
have to have their day
ZZZZZ's marching to sway
The night has given sleep
The night has given sleep
To humans, but not to cats,
Dormice, hamsters, owls.
Dormice, hamsters, owls
Roam the black and ancient woods
At night while we dream.
At night, while we dream
Of knights in shining armour,
Husbands snore and fart.
Husbands snore and fart
But so do knights in armour.
I'm no dreaming fool.
I'm no dreaming fool
At the medics I must show
And just watch my money go!
(by by, sniff)
Taking 5 syllables out of the last line (remember guys, a Haiku has a 5-7-5 syllable structure)
Just watch my money
Multiply several times
Pyramid sucker
Pyramid sucker,
that's what he called the vine on
Pei's glass museum.
