The Spoken Word
No sweeter thing was ever heard
The advent of the spoken word
Soft notes on high from angels sung
Heaven by a slip of the tongue...

gymnastics and performance
in our french big top
i take the shoulder lenth of the tight rope
bar and our cubism begins
theses are frames in sound film slides
sound is on the beam when we come back for the slip of the tongue...

Me Buckeroos
Can't take my hands... uh, my eyes off of you
A slip of the tongue... thought that crap I outgrew
Could live another fifty
Still be quite shifty
Conniving and controlling, me lovely bucaroos...

For a Slip of the Tongue
Speaking ill of others, gossip, carrying tales
the quickest route to hell's fiery jail
for the mightiest weapon of war is the tongue
Who lives, who dies -- a civil tongue's praises are sung
or for lack of same on the gallows is hung...

A Husband Falters
Better take his wife to lunch
after what he said yesterday.
A slip of the tongue.
But where to take her?
The Chinese buffet?
The Indian buffet?
Maybe the Japanese place.
She likes sushi and tempura.
But when he asks about lunch
she says not a chance.
She has to clean the house.
Cleaning lady comes today.
Donal Mahoney...

Your Call
I lay here in bed
and wait for your call
I lay here and die
but you won't call at all
The slip of the tongue
has turned you away
The truth in the lies
the edge starts to fray
You call less and less
and one day it's never
After the assurance
you'd love me forever
As my heart withers
and tears start to fall
I lay here in darkness
and wait for your call...

The World Serious
The Giants won the Series;
I didn’t really care.
The team I root for (Yankees)
This year didn’t make it there.
But always this reminds me
When my son was very young,
He referred to this finale
With a kid’s slip of the tongue.
He called it “The World Serious,”
Not meaning to be slick;
With all the hype surrounding it,
We’ve let that label stick.
And so we watched the Royals lose
Despite a rousing fight.
They sure looked serious to me,
The proof my son was right!...
