*Image of Paul Simon SNL by Giphy. Simple Simon Simple Simon the blessed pieman, Woke up fresh as the day began, Busy cooking, his wife named Anne, Made his breakfast in a saucepan, Enjoyed eating his plate of flan, Simple Simon the blessed pieman, Filled with it and a bit more than, Kissed his wife as the best he can, Came a knock was cousin Tristan, Kissed her again before he ran, Simple Simon the blessed pieman, Walking with his fellow kinsman, Who was a bit like a Tarzan, He says, "We'll do as we did plan", Simon says, "Yes, buy us a van", Simple Simon the blessed pieman, Simple Simon the blessed pieman, His cousin be an anchorman, Does things like some sort of game plan, Says he will talk to the salesman, Interviews him like a newsman, Simple Simon the blessed pieman, Let him run the show as one-man, Naught be a common businessman, Just glad to be a middleman, As Tristan drew the masterplan Simple Simon the blessed pieman, Waiting ate a bowl of pecan, Tossed all the shells in a trash can, Tristan smiled, "Got the minivan", "And at a price that cost less than", Simple Simon the blessed pieman, Simple Simon the blessed pieman, Twas showroom new, in black and tan, Best terms on the installment plan, Signed, gift his full attention span, While at the station, thanked Tristan, Simple Simon the blessed pieman, Drove on home to show his wife Anne, Who had a guest her friend, Roxanne, Amused they were with the new van, The cost, the look, in black and tan, Simple Simon the blessed pieman, Took wife Anne and her friend Roxanne, Proud just been a little more than, Wide-eyed no call by the sandman, Off from work with Anne and their van, Simple Simon the blessed pieman. 2020 March 03 *HM* STRAND CHOICE C,any form,any theme ~~Brian Strand: Judged 2020 March 11
