My advent calendar
And my sleep apnea
Remind you of
Your first boyfriend
You read my whimsical travelogue
A witty and flimsy tableau of
The things that I observed
When I was feeling so much older
Old and alive
Exploiting the honey hive
In days of yore when no one would
Point at me with a kitchen knife
Oh please don't tease me with my memories
Oh, Emily
Every noon when I wake
You address me with a different name
And you never asked who the authorities think I am
And sure not all your ideas are great
Honestly, every other whim is pretty lame
But I'd find quite tempting to forget my christian name
We became you-know-what
We're pigging out on the honey pot
We go out walking these days
We do much talking these days
And we drink champagne in the parking lot
It seems like today we won't get cranky
Oh, Frankie
