Joys of Spring

I heard last night the call of many
Creatures singing, seeking any
Friend with which to propogate
Jiminy cricket seeks a mate

Escaping from the baitbox he
Will not go fishing as per plans
He's housed out there by the oak tree
Singing for partner in the dance

Meet me by the burned pine stump
I'll sing loudly to conceal
The fact my heart is just a lump
Of cold and rusty steel

Tony Bennett?  Yeah that's it
He's sung to you before
I'll be Frank and even Whit
So you'll come back for more

Face to face, toe to toe
Roxy Music lulls and drugs
Unchained lonely rivers flow
Until we share our hugs

When my voice tires and starts to crack
The mink will give a poke on back
Saying "sing to her, one more time
You can catch her with a rhyme'

Then off to Paris we shall fly
France or Texas, one we'll try
Dancing naked in the rain
Hello romance, goodbye pain
