Eating Taco Salad (loosely based on Cohen's Famous Blue Raincoat)
its 2 in the morning
the middle of july
i'm writing you now
just to pretend to ask why
i'm eating my taco, spreading
the lettuce, wanting to say
that i know why you let us
drift on
to that place
in the nether
you're living for everyting now
i hope you're keeping some kind
of journal
and she came by with a smile
and a bod, you all balding and fat,
still enough to attract
send her my regards
Ha ha

Thanks for the smile, really loved the ending a real kicker! Hope all is well with you! Try to enjoy your summer!
Been at the beach--Hilton Head Island. Hard to get back in the groove. So much to write and think about but can't muster it now. Hope you are enjoying your summer!
