Calgon couldn’t take me away from this not only was Calgon on our TV it’s what mother always told me and sis she wasn’t happy until she was free if Calgon wasn’t in the tub at all me and my sister would know Ajax was she’d be using Ajax having a ball on the weekends she came home with a buzz that was back in her polka dancing days her days of soaking in Calgon gone too I know she misses the tub on weekdays sadly mom thinks I belong in a zoo I don’t see my mom much now by my choice my mother has always ignored my voice

'Calgon, take me away'...I remember well...such a sad, gripping and beautiful write, Robert...I like the mater-of-fact bluntness of the last verse especially - Tim
