Unsingle

Unsingle, disengaged from others
In that house squared off suburban
On the cul de sac circle dead end street
The one with a picket fence unattended by white 
As it had never been painted
Sweetie, a witch with a head full of curlers
Frowns, wearing her green mask makeup
To look pretty for her man, her Mr. Right

Just off a road called Twilight Zone Massacre
A bald person who calls himself husband
Has a head full of twisted thoughts as he is lost
                                                                  
Eyes glare out from windows void of light
A creature called wife stirs up a cauldron
Is it soup or poison tonight 
She must look pretty for her man
If he is late there is no saying

Hello Earl Schumacker, oh-I do not think he should eat his dinner. If he does he is a goner. Happy Easter. Enjoy your day my friend.

Hi Darlene, Thanks! I think the husband might never make it home. He went down a very sinister sounding street. Maybe he is better off lost. Happy Easter! Earl
