THINK PINK

Me and Mary once went out for a ride upon the sea
I recall swigging down tequila just Mary and me
Two huge engines made that boat seem to suggest it could fly
Or was it just the tequila, Mary and I?

Theresa and I were catholic but God knew we were sin
And so he put a curse on us and said “let the madness now begin”
Well I grew weaker as her army grew ever stronger
As I wondered if my adversary would tire but they only fought longer

Theresa was a tomboy with an old straw hat and all
I’d lose her every summer and find her every fall
We’d fool around with each other in a field of feral corn
And making love from twilight to waking up naked in the morn

I was wondering recently where Mary ever went
And if she ever learned what the word “repent” really meant
I wondered what foreign lands Mary might have seen
or probably got herself pregnant at seventeen

This tale of two ladies is honest and real
As honest as that someone invented the wheel
And now inside me beats a heart forged of the purest of lead
Since I discovered both of my best friends were dead

So that’s why I pin a pink ribbon on my tailored shirt 
Because Mary and Theresa taught me this disease is anything but inert
It travels too fast for surgeons and doctors to keep it at bay
And that’s why I pray for a cure to breast cancer every blessed day
