Valentine Date
My inbox is empty, I’ve read the news
I checked out Facebook, youtube too,
My hands are clean, my nails are trimmed,
Barbara’s at the clinic, Raven’s at the gym,
Rain is in the forecast, the stock market’s down.
It’s just you and me, babe,
Ya wanna fool around?
The bees are flying happy , I took out the trash,
the laundry is folded, the check is cashed,
the compost is turned, the worms are fed,
I pruned the plum tree and changed the bed,
the floor is swept, the spider webs down.
It’s just you and me, babe,
Ya wanna fool around?
The house plants are watered, the table wiped,
the kids have been comforted, the letters typed,
your teeth are brushed, your back is scratched,
the candles are lit, the door is latched,
the heat’s turned up, the lights turned down.
It’s just you and me babe,
Ya wanna fool around?
Nothing is before us, nothing behind,
the dharma wheel is turning, now’s the time,
the gateless gate is open, let’s step on through,
you’re with me, babe, I’m with you,
so put your arms around me, oh mama, take me down.
Just us and all beings, babe,
Ya wanna fool around?
