wanna quickfire Neil Simon comedy act
with a woman who's sharper than me
a shrew who will do and will always be true
who will keep me alive if not free
now i'll make you laugh if you'll make me laugh too
all my jokes are for you if you'll step in on cue
but we're too busy cutting each other to size
to admit in these lines what we know in our eyes
and it's far too important to skim off the cream
mere milk too mundane to empower our dream
herring bagels on Sunday a shot in the dark
for a culture now lost on a walk in the park
i refused and i opened my eyes you were gone
and your anger remains with me like your sarong
just a rag painted green i forgot and i tore
and i don't want to feel this way any more
