She always said no
Rather negative, that gal
And why? You got me
“And why? You Got Me”
Working title of the Kinks’
“You Really Got Me”
You really got me
Socks for Christmas? I wanted
A bottle of Scotch.
A bottle of Scotch
will certainly guarantee
a Merry Christmas.
A merry Christmas
is my wish for all Christians
this year; every year
This year, every year
I don’t stop getting older
When will it all stop
When will it all stop?
Not for a few billion years;
but I’ll stop sooner.
But I’ll stop sooner
If you will just promise me
You won’t laugh at me
You won’t laugh at me
Which is fine, except that I’m
A stand-up comic
A stand-up comic,
A rabbi, and a heckler
Walk into a bar
Walk into a bar.
Order a drink, then drink it.
Are you having fun?
Are you having fun?
Or shall I fly over to
Pull on your ripcord
Pull on your ripcord
only after jumping out
of that damn airplane
Of that damn airplane
I’ll write a haiku, starts with
Your flight is delayed
Your flight is delayed.
With some luck, it might get here
in 2040
In 2040
Keith Richards will prolly be
Doing farewell tour
Doing farewell tour
While standing on your tiptoes
Will bring down the house
Will bring down the house
for modest fee; pay me in
gold-pressed latinum
Gold-pressed latinum –
Good for currency, but has
No practical use.
-“BB”-
No practical use…
but impracticality
can be lots o’ fun!
