What am I good for?
Memories like chainsaws, What a misery; can network delay? Block our ears? But our eyes hear. I know in whose house; Oh! What a knowledge of evil from Eve’s fruit. Same house, same balcony, same stairs,
Couldn’t win a fifty if you tried.
Sell me the companion of fools,
Companion nevertheless.
Sanity like sawdust, Perhaps if we skip breakfast and lunch Binocular and a dove would arrive, So we would try As our midsection’s rumble,
We would ask and hear the thunder if lucky.
Hey! Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh
What am I good for?
