Blondie

Your German Shepherd doesn't see the hearse
A black tea kettle floating in orbit
A gourmet meal, a smorgasbord — tuck in!
A vacation in Miami, Florida

A god’s forgotten dream, repurposed
Rainbow trout to catch, some rainbow sherbet
A small gaggle of young ones to tuck in
A tryst with a waitress (Sandy? Ida?)

Life’s a bill of goods you never purchased
The grocery bag is torn— you’d rather quit
If not for the wide eyes of the children
Mickey said you’d always been a fight-ah

Your German Shepherd needs to go outside
He runs in circles, chomps at lazy flies
