Now is the Only Time, Baby Doll

today is a blue sky billowy white cloud
road trip kinda day 
a perfect day for driving down 
back roads with a shoebox full
of cassettes in the floorboard
and a bag of pretzels and a 
bottle of water and a broken
clock and an open mind
today is a good day for fishing
a perfect day for 
bananafish
a perfect day to get on
a raft and see where the
wind takes you
today is a good day
to play the piano
with your toes
and suck on raspberry
Tootsie Roll Pops
today is the only day
I know of
the perfect time, darlin'
the only time, baby doll
so let's give it our all
and see
what happens...
