sincere apologies for not getting back to you so quiggly, like stiggly
Dear Hippie Lou,
What shall we do?
We could make some stew
Or see things that moo
Or shop for a shoe
Or listen to babies coo
Or paint with glue
Or take a choo choo
Or check out an amazing view
Or drink some brew
Or watch a crew
Or visit a zoo
Or wait in a queue
Or see taming of the shrew
Or play a didgeridoo
Or we could chew
It’s up to you!
Let me know what you’d like to do!
Mentha Dew
(Dew is technically my sisters middle name, but I borrowed it for the rhyme)
yo sweet mentha dew
sincere apologies for not getting back to you
so quiggly, like stiggly
as for our inspiration and what we shall do
i have been slowly chewing on an idea or two
actually one, hopefully fun
at lula's, perhaps we can meet
east village representin, right on sixth street
an apothecary, not yet legendary
three strips of paper we'll each bring
and on each folded strip, a description of a thing
we can do together, like stormy weather
we'll drop them in one of lula's glass jars
pick a strip out like a man from mars
ready to rock it, put it in our pocket
if we both dig it, then that's what we'll do
if one of us doesn't, we'll draw number two
on and on, til the break of dawn
so hippie lou has to ask, might you be game?
don't hesitate to tell me if you think it's lame
and peace to you, sweet mentha dew
