Hear Here
What you say is not what I hear:
You say card dealer, but I hear car dealer,
--Unless you mean card healer,
A Tarot card healer
Who deals in Aces of Cups
And Fours of Swords.
What you say is not what I hear:
You say a nice man, but I hear an ice man,
--Unless you mean anise man,
Yet another healer,
A medicinal healer-dealer.
What you say is not what I hear:
You say next door, but I hear next store,
--Unless you mean neck store,
Neck dealers being the next dealer-healers.
What you say is not what I hear:
You say soccer, but I hear Sock her.
You say flipper, but I hear Flip her.
You say Stick 'er up, but I hear Sticker up,
--All of which can get quite sticky,
Especially if you call me Mr. Karnicki,
And I hear you say, "Car, Nicky."
The bottom line hear,
When all's said an done:
Eye had fun;
Ewe had nun.
