Beach Sand



Beach Sand

I turn up the cold for that’s my Huckleberry
Ten cups of java gold and I’m set merry
I escape from an outside world which smells of bad sherry
Iced vanilla cake is the blonde and the topless cherry

Auld Lang Syne’s on the horizon
After Christmas which always seemed to conclude with “you’ll put your eye out!”
Remember the BB guns before the Looney Left started to scream and shout?
Well, I’ve one half-broken eye and it wasn’t because of a shot pellet

I miss festive New York City, the place that finally forged me
The song played for the Yankees is indeed true, it’s up to you
Once you come, don’t ever leave unless you’ve done, never you’re done
That City instills what Liberty of mind is, makes the rest of the world look small and less fun

I’m the wandering Jew, but finally decided to be more like a church pew
So here I am, in the Land of Milk and Honey and the bane of my life, religion
I’m the ex-pat that nobody can figure
But then even mama found me strange, so I’m still the convention breaking critter
