celebration

      

        a fruitcake and a wino

        didn't mind the food and wine, no

        they had a good time, no? yes, yes

        and all that jazz, jazz

        you know, no? yes, yes



        beer

        turns tulips into roses

        our conversation

        absorbs foreign words

        and notions



        let's hope

        to find a thick dictio

        next to the eyebrow

        when the eye opens



        don't you feel

        that beer

        turns two lips into roses?

        ...

        ...



        wind and wined

        on my mind

        tutti-frutti

        you're a beauty

        worry weary

        don't you see

        won't you marry

        a fruitcake and wino

        like me?
