Is he now blushing?
No, he used too much rouge. Now
Applies mascara.
Applies mascara
Like Tammy Fay, by the ton
Can he even blink?
Can he even blink?
How odd, can an even blink
close both eyes as once?
_____________________
Close both eyes at once
Absolutely no peeking
Here comes the surprise!
Here comes the surprise!
Jumping naked from the cake,
Marilyn Monroe.
Marilyn Monroe
Once loved Joe DiMaggio
What a time that was!
What a time that was--
Gasoline twenty-five cents
Clean your windshield, too.
Clean your windshield! Too
Many creatures have
Been murdered on it.
Been murdered on it--
I'm talking about the stage--
Critics held the knife
Crirics held the knife
While other actors turned it
Round inside the wound.
"Round inside the wound,"
Notes CSI detective.
"...Killed by rubber ball?"
Killed by rubber ball--
During a fast game of squash--
Right between the eyes
Right between the eyes
where thoughts and dreams swirl in sleep,
the mind's eye resides.
___________
The mind's eye resides
where one's heart and desires meet,
seeing lives undreamed.

Seeing lives undreamed
Of, I marvel at people's
Ways of spending time.
Ways of spending time
And creating memories
With those you love most
With those you love most,
Have a champagne breakfast in
The springtime forest.
The springtime forest.
Shafts of light filter through trees.
A glimpse of fairies.
A glimpse of fairies
Tiny tots wide-eyed with wonder
Catch them if you can!
Catch them if you can!
Fireflies darting to and fro
Making fools of us.
