Memories

 

Winter seems so cold ana wet,
Ps lonely widow am i
A\nd now, with all the flowers gone,

| want to sit down and cry.

lt all seems 50 long ago now,
[ Distant and faraway.
Rut | still remember clearly,

What you said to me that day.

You told me that you lensed me,
That we were the perfect Llerid.

A\nd since the day you loft me,

lve not had the chance again.

Ive learnt a valuable lesson,

[pom that sorrow-tilled day.
A\nd if | meet another man,

"I not count on him to stay.

How are your grades?
Wanna get paid!*?
Poor guys don’t get laid”
Can you call a spade a spade?
How many jobs does it take
to relieve the financial ache
of cars and bars?
By the way what’s with Mars?
Wanna reach for the stars!*?
How are your grades?

—Dug Hebert
