Joe says (in yesterday's comments) that I could draw on a napkin. I'm flattered. It made me think of the hilarious lyrics of the Bob Dylan song "highlands". I had the CD, but Piffin ruined it. She had a weird taste of music back when she still threw them between her barbie junk.
Then she says, "I know you're an artist, draw a picture of me!"
I say, "I would if I could, but,
I don't do sketches from memory."
"Well", she says, "I'm right here in front of you, or haven't you looked?"
I say," all right, I know, but I don't have my drawing book!"
She gives me a napkin, she says, "you can do it on that"
I say, "yes I could but,
I don't know where my pencil is at!"
She pulls one out from behind her ear
She says "all right now, go ahead, draw me, I'm standing right here"
I make a few lines, and I show it for her to see
Well she takes a napkin and throws it back
And says "that don't look a thing like me!"
I said, "Oh, kind miss, it most certainly does"
She says, "you must be jokin.'" I say, "I wish I was!"
Then she says, "you don't read women authors, do you?"
Least that's what I think I hear her say,
"Well", I say, "how would you know and what would it matter anyway?"
"Well", she says, "you just don't seem like you do!"
I said, "you're way wrong."
She says, "which ones have you read then?" I say, "I read Erica Jong!"
So funny, I even bought an Erica Jong book on the fleemarket because of this song. I didn't read it though. Like the bottle of fabric softener I didn't use. That I bought after reading I.M. by Connie Palmen. So confess, in the comment box! Did you ever buy something because of a book or a song?
