O Sweet Mimolette

Mimolette, Mimolette
She’s comin’ but she ain’t here yet
Mimolette, Mimolette
Won’t disappoint me, you can bet
Mimolette, Mimolette
Come right in, my appetite’s whet.
For Mimolette
Mimolette, Mimolette
She’s the best this cracker’s had yet
Mimolette, Mimolette
A slice of heaven you bet
Mimolette, Mimolette
No part I don’t wanna get
Of Mimolette.
Come with me, my Mimolette
We’ll keep it cool in my Chevette
Mimolette, come home with me
Gonna take you in my kitchenette
Spend another night with Mimolette.
Mimolette, Mimolette
She don’t spread, but I don’t need that
Mimolette, Mimolette
I just want her to lie down flat
Mimolette, Mimolette
Had a craving since the day we met
For Mimolette.
Mimolette, let me take you home
Mimolette, you’re a salty one
Mimolette, come home with me
Gonna take you in my maisonette
On the counter or the breakfast nook
Mimolette. Mimolette

His past is checkered like a chess board
His future’s bright like the lips of an escort
His guard is down when he’s in town
His mother still hasn’t cut the cord
I saw his face on the cover of Time
The card fell out, but I didn’t subscribe
Nothing to learn from the story inside
Another hack, another deadline
He cleared the air
Grabbed a bag and went over there
Too much turbulence in the air
And flight attendants who really didn’t care
He thought the sky was holding him down
Turns out it was the ground
While gravity was a natural friend
It was a dead end, yeah a dead end
So he tried to learn the secret of flight
Visiting Kill Devil Hills in his mind
Waiting for when the conditions were right
As he tried to leave the ground
He cleared the air
Tried to watch movies on the way over there
Soldiers and strangers in his hair
And flight attendants who really didn’t care
His past is checkered like a chess board
His future’s bright like the lips of an escort
His guard is down when he’s in town
His mother still hasn’t cut the cord
I saw his face on the cover of Time
Could’ve been a reflection of mine
Nothing to learn from the story inside
Another hack, another deadline
Those who travel by pencil and push-pin
Never have strong reservations
Go and give the globe some top spin

Galbi Jim Vs. Katsu Don

Galbi Jim
And Katsu Don
Two superheroes who just don’t get along
You see them fighting all day long
From Daegu to Dokdo
Kyoto to Tokyo
Their bright capes flutter in the breeze
Galbi Jim
And Katsu Don
Two superheroes who just don’t get along
Galbi says, “Get off my lawn”
Katsu says, “I’m doing nothing wrong”
Konichiwa
Annyeong
A fence can make your neighbor’s day
Choppy water doesn’t work that way
They share a meal, then put on their capes
They duke it out while their children play
Splat, zowie, splot, biff, bang, pow, kablooey

In State

It’s great when you lie in state
People wait, they wait behind an iron gate
When you lie in state
When you lie in state.
But the gate doesn’t open until eight
You make the people wait
When you lie in state
When you lie in state.
It’s great when you lie in state
People wait and they debate
When you lie in state
When you lie in state.
They debate whether you were great
You are the topic of debate
When you lie in state
When you lie in state.
There’s a brass plate on display
It decorates the case
Where you lie in state
Where you lie in state.
It’s great when you lie in state
Some love you, some just hate
When you lie in state
When you lie in state.
But those who hate you have to wait
To buy a ticket at the gate
For a chance to curse you when you lie in state.
It’s great when you lie in state
No one wonders about your fate
When you lie in state
When you lie in state.
How often do they powder your pate?
How often do they open that case
Where you lie in state
Where you lie in state?

Smoky Ghosts of Big Trees South Korea
The whooping went on, and in about a minute I come a-booming down on a cut bank with SMOKY GHOSTS OF BIG TREES on it, and the current throwed me off to the left and shot by, amongst a lot of snags that fairly roared, the current was tearing by them so swift. - Mark Twain “Huckleberry Finn” ... more
