Avocado Baby

Avocado Baby - The Wave Pictures

When you came around

and offered nothing new

nothing old

nothing I could use

I wondered when did you

give up on the way

we spent our spring days

constantly talking

finding our voices amazing

You called me over

though I drive you crazy

My eye's still as strong as the avocado baby

Though my hands start shaking in the second I awaken

I am soft and still and lazy

and my tongue is on the run

and it's only just begun

Did you ever see a good joke turn so sour

My tongue is on the run

and it's having so much fun

I'm growing younger by the hour

I should wait until the spring

wait until the spring

but my carpet is crawling with crocodiles

and a dozen porcupines point their needles in my thumb

Now tippy Tina tippy-toes into the picture

with a rolling thumb and finger

Tippy Tina tippy-toes into the picture
