My Flower Garden

 

One day I asked her,

"What do you think about all day?"

She combed her hair and gave

Me a long, wide stare

And then she slapped me

And screamed,

"What the hell do you mean

With your preposterous ponderings?!!

I think about flowers!"

 

Flowers are pretty, flowers are precious,

Flowers say what is meant to be said.

Flowers are pretty, flowers are precious,

Flowers are laid on the graves of the dead.

I invoke thee, Lover,

I use the voodoo doll’s head.

I invoke thee, Lover,

To thee I bewed.

We shall elope

Like the feast of a cantaloupe.

In you I have hope,

So wash me down with soap.

Are you gonna leave me alone?

Nope, nope.

With me, you’re gonna learn to cope.

 

Gotta sip that wine,

Gotta look real fine,

Gotta take the time

To learn to love.

 

Sail to the moon

On a bed with satin sheets.

I’m sure this beats

Any hell I could fall into.

And sometimes I wonder if

I’m just a blind fool

Stuck in the old school,

Disobeying the rules of my

Patterns of integrity.

 

Oh, I’ve just got an itch

That I’m acting like a bitch.

With the truckers, a ride I’ll hitch;

Hey, I’ve gotta make it to you,

No matter what it takes,

I’ll disown the fakes,

Crush the cakes

Whatever it takes.

Feel the force and the

Flow of the course,

Neigh like a horse

‘Cause for you I have remorse.
