Coat Tails

The girl in the lavender coat tails Dropped her wars on the way out the door. So I sent them to her in the mail Hoping she would realize the floor Was Jell-O and the lime green door did Really need to be there. Maybe, she said, But do you really need to have two heads? Maybe, I answered, quite calmly, the rail Hurt your head. For neither do I have nor Do I need two heads. So I took the coat tails From her coat set and sold them door to door. I sold quite a few dozen or so before I realized I had started with only two. So I went shopping, what else was there to do? created 4 Aug 1991
