One Lovebird Sang Her Last Notes

one lovebird sang her last notes


here i am drunker than a skunk
trying to write fast as a slam
i sit looking to wet my whistle and dunk
a past basket and score with her prim and pram

i lost to her good graces on a lost prayer
of coffee and a roll of good will
she thwarted my advances  and cares
looking for another booby to fit her bill

so the pictures painted in bright red
forget me grabbing her silly and going to town
or heaven forbid of  thinking of taking her to bed
so we know why i sit here a little down

theres fish that are swimming in the sea
colorful tangs and parrot fish but i like her
shes kind of unique and care free
for theres something about her that makes me stir

so the story has been told that shes tied up
in a knots and mysteries leaving me an empty cup.
