Int. Polly's Rise to the Challenge

Watch what you ask for Polly, Polly
Watch what you ask for Polly Dear,
Ask what you watch for Polly, Polly
Ask and what you'll get is more

          Are you always wanting something?

Get off the bus at the wrong stop
find that Jesus man
count the murder of crows
ignore the pain in your side
     (ovaries are an institution)

Every day you're getting better and
                                   better
Ask for what you watch for

Canadian Geese are          flexible
               so are          blackberries
Leave the paper-wasp nest alone
Leave the dishes in the sink
write because because          because
because all the water is green

New sheets
havarti cheese
Friday @ 6 PM
Message in a bottle
                              Oh Polly
                         You are the last
                       team to arrive
