She Told Me That Her Purse Was Alligator
 
She told me that
Her purse was alligator
So I just growled at it 
No, she smiled oddly
I mean Italian 
Do prey go dizzy ha habit


I Inhale A Memory
 
I inhale a memory
Of a day made for you and me
I breathe so deep that I can see
What was wrong with you and me
My friends tried to tell
But I just didn’t listen well
So here I sit and here I see
An inhaled memory
 


Shorter Legs  

Shorter legs will get you just as far
You can get as far as you like 
But not by walking faster 
Long legs go to tall folk
and this here is no joke
Shorter legs will get you just as far
Especially when in a car
