screwball

[Michael J Masiko]

screwball

such a sucker for screwball comedy 

with the things that go amiss 

it's hard to argue like living a dream 

all said and done sealed with a kiss

oh how it makes me feel alive

to see ricky mad/hear lucy cry

i have been there

done that

got the tshirt

gave it away

& bought it back.

ah … goodwill.

highfive!

i relive it fondly

heart full of holes filled with lack 

until lustered

a nice place to visit 

but i'd sooner be with you 

that's my druthers

such a sucker for screwball comedy 

with the things that go amiss 

it's hard to argue like living a dream 

all said and done sealed with a kiss

you don't have to be no donna reed

but i'll give you something to write home about

we're having a good time just hanging out

with no need to go anywhere else

when she sais:

 "thank god I've made it to your last nerve",

"finally you acknowledge I'm here"!

& though it is the journey that defines us

what could it hurt to have a house in the hills?

such a sucker for screwball comedy 

with the things that go amiss 

it's hard to argue like living a dream 

all said and done sealed with a kiss
