Today, I listened to the banshee's wail
Some believe that to be an old wives' tale
Today, I heard the ringing of the death knell
...
She'd nearly finished her green gater
When I informed our waiter
Of what we wanted for food and drink
I stressed to him, absolutely no pink
...
He fervidly kissed her goodnight
Under a luminous moon light
It was remarkably late
For only their second date
...
If I had an discarded Mason jar
For keepsakes that remind me of you
It would glow like the North Star
From all the things I'd compress into
...
There is a young lady with a old soul
Her virtues are something to extol
She'll smile and give you a wink
Even when the gab really does stink
...
Once I knew the way back home
Restless hearts tend to roam
Like a discarded bottle in the ocean
Just going along with the motion
...
We can't stop the time bandit
From snatching the sands of time
Like rain and wind on granite
Mother Nature's merciless crime
...
Hot summer night
Soft breeze blew
Full moon bright
...
It's so easy to remember
It's so hard to forget
Your sweet surrender
No remorse, no regret
...
Listening to Jimmy croon Cheeseburger in Paradise
Enduring the blah winter months that I so despise
Musing on charcoal smells and watching smoke rise
...
