Goodbye Paige Goodbye Kate

Oh Kate You never told me It a grey feeling Just a dismal hunch Pretty Kate Sweet Kate Always there Yes Kate A gift for thee There for Bram Flakes There for schmear There for ersatz food Yes Kate You taught me how To enjoy ersatz food Without grimacing You were there. We scarcely spoke. I saw you poor I tried to help you. Forever high school Kate. Pink monkeys and lingerie Forever senior prom Your eyes on the money. Yes Kate I shall miss you. Texas friend, oh Kate. Goodbye to the Lone Star. Surfing and bodyboarding The great white shark and Kate Wondered what you did California Kate the swimsuit lady I forgave you for the drndls With the cut outs - you made bikinis You the confused friend, the lost sister Kate oh Kate - goodbye.
