Verse

E Stitch up the nets but the patch won't stay

As the nail beds rest in the calico hay

  TheA7 Fiji MermaidAm dressed in macrame'sE

Wading road in the fork and a bend

In the spoon tern cut short as a shadow at noon

  A7Melting like wax asAm that once full moons

  NEow waning ersatz acts an insufferable bore

Sharp Shots dull as a harlequins sword

  When dA7oing as you please dAmoesn't please you anymore

E Stick of the match as the paraffin show

Drop a nickel to watch the asparagus grow

  The sA7tone in what shell?Am

  You sure like to Eknow now don't you?

A loom in the heir as the medicine came

To the nest of the mare of the mystery claims

  But you'llA7 miss having someone to bAmlame

  For your sadness,E now won't you?

Well maybe there'll be a bakery hiring

  We'll kA7nead a little Amdough to get by

Or did I come to yours?

And from what ocean floor?
