Awman Tom Petty
ran across my mind again today I think
he will forever
Tom Petty?
Yes For two ironicwhen compared songs
Two songs. You know the title of
two songs by Petty?
Not a fan
No, I can’t say I was, the proof would
be in the puddingwouldn’t it? I don’t own an album by him.
Album Vinyl cassette CD
Zip. Nothing.
Not on a compilation someone
burned for you
Someone burned for me . . that’s
an interesting notion.
Notion
Yare not a fan of music
I like Spotify
Is that the songs repeating at
your place
You don’t like my selection?
Selection is problematic
Id
think with a premium servicewe arent interrupted by advertisements youd have multiple selections not play the
same songs day in day out
I like them.
Goes without saying
Petty Don’t Do Me Like That Do
him like how
What do . .
. . Whas
he singing bout I have an idea
He’s being treated badly by his
girlfriend.
A buddy tells him “You better watch your step” Or your gonna get hurt
yourself Someone’s gonna tell you lies Cut you down to size.
For someone whos not a fan well
done
It’s a good song. Thank you.
Yare welcome
there
wasnt another description for his smile other than smug
time he defeathered it
Despite
those lyrics the plaintive begging
sounds like something else to me
the smugness fled threw him a curveball when he was
expecting a fastballWAIT. Before you continue was buying time to bring his thinking
around which which was uselesshe was on
his heels reactive hadnt the ability to be proactive thasaid he was a moving target Before you continue almost
lost his train of thought What’s the other title?
A Face in the Crowd
That’s a good song.
It is A love song my wife and I shared I heard coming home from work on the radio
Stopped at the record shop in townprobably the last 45 I ever bought
She
was cuckoo for it as was I
That’s a nice story.
It was very nice I have a hard time listening to it these days
he
never knew what to say to comfort someone
Don’t Do Me Like That
You remembered.
Of course Answer the question
Question?
he
didnt remember the question
Yes
wasnt
letting him off the hook some fish will
struggle madly to throw a hook his
survival skills werent honed hed concede
I don’t remember your questi . .
.
. The plaintive voice
Do
me like that
I’ve told you.
So tell me my take
Throw your brain on a hot greasy skillet open it wide like an oldfashioned dump garbage
pit before they became fixtures of art
decades decades too late
Guess
I don’t have a guess.
Don wanna work tha hard
Take
a guess Exercise your mindfree your mind
an the rest will follow Another good song
his
smugness was forgotten
I don’t have a guess.
Too bad
Possibly someday your life may
come down to a reasoned guess Im not inobvious
I don’t know.
Im not asking know askin for a guess
Just saywould ya?
imagine
him thinking he was due his impatience
Yahbefore I do lemme say tha its times like these its like
having sex with a stale cadaver if yawere
fresh I might at least get a twitch out of ya
Offensive remarks come to you so eas
. .
.
. Inspired
But let me not tax you furthur I don want your fuckin head to explode thought maybe ya might be humoured
Humored?
You humor yourself . .
.
. Ohye of little humour
Final nail in the coffin
Nice.
Happy ya followed Ya Hansel or Gretel
What?
Forget it Do me like that
Finally getting around to it?
No Reminding you
I think his girlfriend was using a strap-on dildo on
him he thought it a lark NO She enjoyed
penetrating him an inadvertently hedsay it
became a course on their sex menu Stoop
