PLAIN SAILING

While you slept

I drank your tea

Wore your clothes

And climbed your tree

Atop a roof

I gazed upon

A sordid sort of

Marathon

Back behind

Our wooden shed

You’ve made yourself

A little bed

Like a wolf

In wooly clothes

You hid your heart

But not your nose

I’ve found a way

To come to you

Through doors with teeth

And walls of glue

My key had broke

And so I knocked

But soon I learned

You’d changed the locks

Down an alley

There’s a place

Where you might find

My smiling face

Leather suitcase

Dans la gare

Kill me now

I shall not care

We do not care

If they’re unclean

Say the things

You really mean

The jolly doctor

Wants to see

All the things

You gave to me
