I love this city made of
card board
I met Bob on the corner
and he said I wanna kiss you
I said no babe not here on
the corner
Let's go into the library
made from a shoe box
He said wait, check
this out
And he leaned against the
drinking straw which was
supposed to be a light
pole
And as it toppled
over, he said
Oh man, I forgot this pole
was made of a drinking straw and I thought I was being so cool.
And his newspaper
hat fell off his bald little head
I realized he was not the
one for me as I walked along the street and looked up at the dental floss electrical
lines strung between the toothpics.
And when the confetti fell
as though it were snow, I made my way back to the kleenex box that was my
home.
