I kinda like the way you dot your "J"s

 With giant circles of naïveté

 The kind of circles include everything

Don't mean to damn you with the faintest praise

 It's just a symptom of the blithe age

Walter Lippmann, he would be amazed.

So you've got some curb appeal

But can you cook a three course meal?

Or are you just a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again? Hey!

You are a gardenia, pressed

in the campaign journal in the

rucksack of an Afrikaner

candidate for mild reform.

It's like we're at a Ponzi scam-inar

 There's no escaping without a door prize

They're operating at significant loss.

And now the way that you watch your weight,

Richard Avedon, Richard Avedon would,

 Richard Avedon would surely approve.

So much for your curb appeal.

So much for the three course meals.

'Cause I am not a present waiting to be opened up and parceled out again. Hey!

 < riff>

The torture of the Van Wyk

Expressway at 5 p.m. on

Friday gives you some idea of

how rejection makes me feel.

Well you are a gardenia,

You are a gardenia.
