"A Shell"

Tonight I spoke
 . . With you in my sleep
And you were looking well.

That gal with you
 . . I guess you'll keep
Though she be but a shell.

DANGER: Falling Ice
Let that be a warning

. . . The Thaw is on
And feelings come undone.

"Gave Me the Lance"

With a glimpse and a glance
 . You gave me the lance
 . . The lance you've given others before.

With a trip and a dance
 . You gave me the chance
 . . To etch you into my lore.

"Red House"

I could live in that Red House
 . . My baby there or not
I'd be quiet as a mouse
 . . Rolling in my cot.

"The Bloom Is Off the Rose"

The bloom is off the rose
 . . You hit it on the nose
 First we open, then we close
 . . It's not the life we chose.

'A Scary Feature'

There's been a scary feature

A really scary creature

"Rush to 'No'"

Rush to "no"

Close the hope
 . . Hook the rope.

"Much Better Yet in Song"

Like me from roots diverse
 . . Arise this muttsy tongue
Good to hear in verse
 . . Much better yet in song.

"At the Bread and Puppet Show

Perhaps I'll move to Glover
. . And trundle through the snow
I'll take myself a lover
. . At the Bread and Puppet show.

"An M.G. Y-Type Saloon"

An M.G. Y-type saloon
 . . That's how I'll go through life
I'll install a vile spitoon
 . . To keep away the wife.
