Last Night's Phone Conversation

told you I was in the tub
taking a bath
you said you didn't hear any splashes
so I kicked some water around
to make you happy
and you asked me if I needed a rubber ducky
to play with
and I said I didn't have any toys to play with
well, I had a couple
but I had to be in the mood
and I told you I hoped you would still love me
when I return to you
on Saturday
I lied and said I've gained a hundred pounds
I'm the fat Elvis
you said you would have seen the fat Elvis
in Vegas
and you will take me
however I come
and that made me gooey
because after all the heartache and disillusion
I'm still goofy like that
and you told me about the little frog
who lives underneath your birch tree
he's getting bigger
the size of your two thumbs
that isn't very big, I said
but he used to be the size of a quarter, you said
and I asked you if you had named him
and you said you hadn't
and asked me to pick a name
Greg, I said
and before we hung up
I told you to say hello to Greg for me
and I know this is love
because you don't think
that's crazy.
