Down a narrow street
Is where you’ll find something that’s
Right up your alley.
Right up your alley
I tried for a perfect strike
But left a big split.
-“BB”-
But left a big split
In my pants when I stooped to
Reach for that penny
Reach for that penny.
You may find a dime under.
Not a fortune (shrug).
Not a fortune (shrug)
nor yet a mere pittance (frown)
is what you’ll earn (nod).
Is what you’ll earn (nod)
if you work all night (yawn): a
Penny for your thoughts
Penny, for your thoughts
I’d rather talk to Dr.
Smith or the Robot.
“Smith or the robot.”
The casting director gave
No other options.
-BB"-
No other options
It’s do or die, sink or swim
Put up or shut up
“Put up or shut up”:
poker advice, or a threat?
Need ace up my sleeve.
Need ace up my sleeve -
Or pockets. Why don’t I have
Sufficient pockets?
Sufficient pockets?
You mean like that TV guy
Captain Kangaroo?
Captain Kangaroo?
He is neither a captain
Nor a kangaroo.
Nor a kangaroo,
Nor a soaring red-tailed hawk
Will dig like a dog.
Will dig like a dog,
But deeper, with more damage?
Danged armadillos.
Danged armadillos!
If I hated them much more,
I’d really damn them.
I’d really damn them
If I hated socks with holes;
Instead, I darn them.
Instead, I darn them.
You may reweave them if that
Puffs your hipsterness.
“Puffs,” your hipsterness
Tissues for your nose. Really?
I just use my sleeve.
I just use my sleeve
To wipe my nose, of course, and
To wipe other parts
