Archie and Gigs, Slow dancing, toes touching, Maybe what, The tenth Christmas song in a row, Peanut shells crunch under their soft shoes, The bar clock slips past midnight, Her arms in a loose noose around his neck, His hands on that perfect powder puff *** of hers, Sentimental embezzlers, God he loved the feel of her cheeks in his hands, Made him feel like he’d achieved something With this pathetic life of his, Didn’t matter how bruised he was, When she walked into the room, He smiled, Every **** time And well ********* If that weren’t the signature of love, Then ,as Archie often said, He would eat pigeon crumbs and throw his shoes in the East river And although nobody could quite figure what he meant by that, Gigs knew he’d sooner stop breathing, than miss one dance with her, He’d rather live in the trunk of a car full of spiders and bats, (Which he did one early weekend to prove his love to her, Archie said love had to be demonstrated or it was just phony ******** Anybody can say stuff Archie said but a real man always takes action) , And harsh truth, she was ****** hooked On the old ****** Her poet , her man, her rare and rough , It just felt too **** good to see that smile, That twinkle, the sly eye and his hands fit her *** perfectly So could there be any better proof That they were they. One more Archie asked And Gigs did her sigh with the horse flutter at the end And Archie, smiling like a buzz saw Lifted her off her feet and knew he was alive

Archie and Gigs, Slow dancing, toes touching, Maybe what, The tenth Christmas song in a row, Peanut shells crunch under their soft shoes, The bar clock slips past midnight, Her arms in a loose noose around his neck, His hands on that perfect powder puff *** of hers, Sentimental embezzlers, God he loved the feel of her cheeks in his hands, Made him feel like he’d achieved something With this pathetic life of his, Didn’t matter how bruised he was, When she walked into the room, He smiled, Every **** time And well ********* If that weren’t the signature of love, Then ,as Archie often said, He would eat pigeon crumbs and throw his shoes in the East river And although nobody could quite figure what he meant by that, Gigs knew he’d sooner stop breathing, than miss one dance with her, He’d rather live in the trunk of a car full of spiders and bats, (Which he did one early weekend to prove his love to her, Archie said love had to be demonstrated or it was just phony ******** Anybody can say stuff Archie said but a real man always takes action) , And harsh truth, she was ****** hooked On the old ****** Her poet , her man, her rare and rough , It just felt too **** good to see that smile, That twinkle, the sly eye and his hands fit her *** perfectly So could there be any better proof That they were they. One more Archie asked And Gigs did her sigh with the horse flutter at the end And Archie, smiling like a buzz saw Lifted her off her feet and knew he was alive
Nearly always homeless Archie and Gigs have been inseparable for 30 years. A gift to know them-- and I wish them well-- hh
