All the Things You Are

You are the hummer beside me at Carmen The source of BO on the airplane A loudmouth divulging the plot at a movie And the noisy drunk at the concert I saved for all year You are the Gilligan on my island. You are the pop quiz in Organic Chem And the idiot doing 48 in the fast lane You're the spider I found in my salad After I'd already eaten half of it You are the Yoko in my Beatles. You are the rain on my wedding day And the fleas on my dog You are the virus infecting my computer And the cop writing tickets in the desert at 3 am You are the Dalek in my TARDIS. You are neither friend nor lover Yet you never go away. It seems my fate you'll follow me Until my dying day.
