Paper Napkins

Paper napkins and plastic straws Ex-lax was a laxative I recall Bananas with black seeds Young folks saying please Things just seem to disappear Phone booths everywhere Merry Christmas said with cheer That corner fireworks stand Frying with lard from a tin can Things just seem to disappear Neighbors who are friends Promise kept by politicians News that actually informed Soft white bread wasn't scorn Things just seem to disappear Butter-Nut candy bars When we believed life was on Mars We used to land men on the moon California once had too much room... Paper napkins and plastic straws.
