A Madly Aunt Tail
(For all those loved Alzheimer's victims. For my dear Aunt Zela and my own
incredible mother and for me.)
Two blind trailing stockings dear
and mismatched earings in your ears
Fire up the blinchiki as we belong to purity
Never lose your necklace key or try to play on sympathy
But always wear your underwear
and never steal and never swear.
Dress me as a bumble bee
Cause I love you and you love me.
The rest of them can fall for free
as cherries from a cherry tree.
Will you won't you please remember
Don't wear shorts it is December
Don't put on two pairs of stockings
just to go out wandering walking
Don't wear one on one leg dangling
and leave the other sadly hanging
Don't you cry or suffer loudly
You've lost your mind but not your body.
Don't forget I love you so and no one here could ever know
Once you've broken in my heart
We're one and one-we never part.
So rest it easy now my dear and never cry and never fear.
I love you and you love me and that's the way it'll always be
