EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING

Everybody loves a clown
Why don’t you love me?
Everybody needs someone
It’s just not me
Everybody plays the fool
It’s my profession
Everybody’s having fun
What about me?

Doubting Thomas
On his deathbed
Said “I doubt it”
Then he fell dead

You can’t please everyone
I think I knew that
Everybody’s doing it
Except for me
Everyone who’s anyone
Except yours truly
Something for everyone
But not for me

Amy Winehouse
Holding a bottle
Said, “I don’t need brakes
Just the throttle”

It’s on everybody’s mind
I just forgot it
Everything happened at once
Or so you say
Everything I have is yours
You must be kidding
Everything is beautiful
I was right, you’re kidding

Dirty Harry goes to Baghdad
Looking for whales for Captain Ahab

Everything is possible
You’ve never watched me
Everything is in its place
Not at my place
Everything old is new again
Were you even listening?
Everything is everything
Now you’ve gone too far

Salvadore Dali
Paints a tamale
Says, every tamale
Should be melancholy

Everything will be alright
If not, who do I talk to?
Everything will be okay
Then why don’t you stay?
Anytime and anywhere
Can I see that in writing?
When everyone is upside down
I’m right side up

Andy Warhol
Winner take all
Painted a soup can
It’s a windfall!

But they were here
