Runnin', really runnin'
I sit here,
lookin' at my loose skinned animals
just lyin' there.
And I think, (as is my way),
"How lucky they are
just lyin' there
with nothing to do."
Oh yes.
Well I know for certain
the cats
are always doin' just what
they wanna do.
They intersect with me
at the food bowl,
at their, (you know), leisure.
The dog,
on the other hand,
(She's a Pharoh Hound),
that's right,
She's curled up in
the big green arm chair.
And she's dreamin'
about runnin' across
Abysinian deserts
chasin'
long legged antelopes
in the hot shifty sands.
And she's runnin',
And she's runnin',
really runnin',
and
I wake her up,
and
she's back here
curled up
in the big green arm chair.
And then I get
the disconcerting thought,
"When was the last time
I was runnin',
runnin',
really runnin' ?"
Maybe
I've been curled up here
in the big green arm chair,
You know,
Domesticated,
Dreamin'.
And my skin
sure as hell ain't loose.
