Never forget the power of being a woman. We are beautiful and strong. We are the bringers of life, teachers of our children, and wisdom of the next generation. ~Hillary Aguilar
My cat died & I quickly poured myself some gin
Did she die from old age or was it for my sins?
God, I loved her oh so much
Miss her little kitty touch
Does she miss me, does she care?
Oh, I miss her kitty stare
Do you have a little time?
Would you like to ease my mind?
Talk for hours & never stop,
Chop your head off,
Be a lighter person,
Brighter person, nicer,
But you've heard it all before
So ding dong there's the doorbell
Hello, man in white
He's gonna make you all well, get you through the night
But hey now, you don't feel better
As you take your fresh bromide
Maybe this man of letters lied
Let me tell you 'bout a dream I had the other night
You were in it- boy, you sure gave me a super fright
I was walking down the street
Downtown by the DMV
You popped out behind a door
It was argue on all fours
Do you have some time to spare?
You were barking at a bear
It said, "hey, you'd better stop"
Chop your head off,
Be a lighter person,
Brighter person, nicer,
But you've heard it all before
So ding dong
There's the doorbell
Hello, man in red
He's gonna make you all well
Get you into bed
But hey now, you don't feel better
As you wake & slowly rise
Maybe this smooth jet-setter lied
Stick around one minute more
I'm smarter than you think
Do I sound like an old bore?
Oh man, it's just the drink
I didn't always hit the gin
There were times when I fit in
They'll never know how much I tried
Did I tell you my cat died?
Do you have a little time?
Would you like to feel sublime
Run away & never stop
Chop your head off,
Be a lighter person,
Brighter person, nicer,
But you've heard it all before
So ding dong there's the doorbell
Hello, man in black
He's gonna make you all well
There's no going back
But hey now you don't feel better
As you drift off in the tide
Maybe this Jack the ripper lied
& you died
