CERTAIN SONGS
by
Drew Lankford
Are there certain songs that get you going?
When you hear them you get up and do something.
I like to smoke when I hear certain songs.
There was, however, this one dude who would
paint his fingernails gray.
When he ran out of nails he'd paint his elbows.
And if a good rock n' roll song came on the radio,
he'd paint the eggs in the fridge.
Once he ran outside and painted his car.
He moved on to a tree, then onto the entire neighborhood.
He kept going until the country was gray.
All except a little flower hidden under a banana peel.
The little flower began spitting red everywhere.
