(I swear I'm stealing this bit from some comic from the '70s or '80s, but Google declines to identify any such person. I certainly am not stealing it from Hal David; all rights are reserved by whoever holds them these days. Anyway, parody is protected speech, or so I fervently hope. Regardless, my bits are in Italics. Inspired by and dedicated to the mockingbird who sings outside my window day and night. A great and inspired singer, but still. )
Close to You
Why do birds
Suddenly appear?
Everytime you are near
(I must have picked the wrong scent of AXE body spray)
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
Why do stars
Fall down from the sky?
Every time you walk by
(What?! I didn't do that! Anyway, who cares? Get out of the way!)
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together and decided
To create a dream come true
(I always KNEW it was a conspiracy!)
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
(Hey! The Grecian Formula's supposed to take care of that!)
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
(Whew! The police sketch artist will never be able to match me with THAT description!)
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
(No, I finally got the RIGHT scent of AXE body spray)
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
At least you wrote something today.
