Ladle up a bold claim
Serve it in a clay bowl
Seasoning of gold flakes
Hush to keep it humble
Saddle up by Slag Lake
Tighten up your lax speech
Temperance and sunset
Shatter like a wax peach
Aught ought do, babe
I’m just trying to get from A to B
How’d you do, Babe?
Heard you crying for a way to be
Phormiumophile
Chilling in the wet shade
Will drive a thousand miles
For every hoarded decade
Switching in the willow
Pruning to be lighter
Culling and colostrum
For crocus-hearted doubters
Aught ought do, babe
I’m just trying to get from A to B
How’d you do, Babe?
Heard you crying for a way to be
Obsidian incision
Slicing to the vitals
Gilded by conviction
Ready for recital
Aught ought do, babe
Tallow shining on your lower lip
How’d you do, babe?
Sprained an ankle in shower slip
Aught ought do, babe
I’m just trying to get from A to B
How’d you do, Babe?
Heard you crying for a way to be

O little Rat Queen feasting on wheat
Here comes the Barn Cat and she’s earning her keep
Silo is asylum for a while but you know
There are many kinds of bounties to reap
O little crockpot simmering stew
Yeast is breeding in a glutinous womb
Lady does reward our preparation and our patience
Lead us to the trough and the truth
O little rooster, featherbare tail
Usurper reigns despite your impotent glare
Sir Rhode Island, you are banned from Barred Rock’s harem
I see you skulking the perimeter's trail
Breaking clods during the day and in sleep
Sweep the farmstand and the bedding is clean
If only ugly was completely on the outside
Still, there are many kinds of bounties to reap

My friends and I
Suck at goodbyes
Even though we know
A good night’s sleep makes a big difference
In the kitchen
Late at night
I want to stay and laugh,
But a good night’s sleep makes a big difference
When I got sad
Really sad
The counselor said,
“You know, a good night’s sleep will make a big difference”
It took a year
Now I don’t call
When I get the urge I say
“A good night’s sleep will make a big difference”
