An ancient hitching-post survives
Too strong and stable to tear down;
The horse-drawn cart no more arrives,
For Time has altered Man and town....

There once was a young man from town
Was known for his playing around
But when he met Patty
Also met her daddy
Now he sings soprano he's found!...

Riding in Scottie's Porsche with the top down
Creates a bunch of stares in my pretty pink gown
My flowing grey hair
Adds to the flair
Girlies all want a piece of this man-about-town...

Must be careful and behave, want to still be around
When they hand out the prize for the silliest man in town
Too raunchy, I lose
My privilege I abuse
Gonna clean up my act but still be the clown

My given name is Charles Brown,
when I'm called blockhead, I just frown;
I searched for a Christmas tree,
I found one - needs T*L*C.....
now I am "The man around town!"

The richest man in town was
Arrogant and selfish
And we stayed away from him

Until he won the lottery
Then we galivanted to his house
Thinking he would share

Forgetting that your personality does not change
Just because you win a mere sixty-three million dollars...

There once was a man from Town Square,
who wished he had more hair down there.
        The girls all would blush,
        when he touched their tush-
Guess he should never have used Nair!

The Urban Fox has come to town … 
Back gardens now he roams.

Away from fools in scarlet coats,
He’s feeling right at home!






(Here in England, fox-hunters wear red - or "pink!" coats and chase the fox on horses, with a 
pack of hounds. Hunting with hounds is now illegal, but most of the foxes have moved away 
from the country into the towns. They love McDonald's ...)

She used a kiss for postage stamps
she mailed her letter "neath the lamp
  lit by the oldest man in town

  she watched him bring his ladder down
he touched her cheek and kissed her hair
and bade her go backhome from there

  the twilight gave way to the dark
she watched the street light's golden spark
reflected in some secret eyes
among the lilacs sweet surprise

  Her postage kisses found their mark
on male that came in after dark....

Where dost thou go o’ fair one? 
I go to see the setting sun.
Would thou care if I did follow?
Dost though wish my innocence before the morrow?
Dost though question my intent?
Many maidens’ hearts have you spent.
Lies surround me like a swarm.
Yet for me your bed is warm?
Do not tarry with my heart.
Then from me you must depart.
Your beauty will disturb my dreams.
To many others you say it seems.
Why dost thou tear me down?
You know not love, man about town....
