The Bell People
The bell people, they didn’t ring, They didn’t talk, they didn’t sing. They didn’t whine, make a kerfluffle, All they really did was shuffle. They walked in packs, with footsteps neat, All you could see was their feet. They’d walk through town on each Bell Day Silently shuffling, then away.

[Have you seen my cork?]
Have you seen my cork? I’m asking cause I’m ill. I’ve lost my cork and fallen down, Now all I do is spill.

“I Wanted to Be A Different Kind of Bongo”
At an early age, I got the notion in my mind that I wanted to be a different kind of bongo. I didn’t want to be the kind of bongo you’d use in a lounge act on a cruise ship doing Latin music or a cover of “Copacabana.” If you had a beard and liked [...]

How I Made My Escape into the World (A Rather Patriarchal Tale)
