It must be sad
cause it’s Friday night
and I’m happy
because it’s the season premiere
of Dennis Miller Live
Once upon a time—
once upon a glorious time
I would never be home
on a Friday night
and now I’m thinking
“Boy, I’m glad
I didn’t have to go out
and miss Dennis Miller.”
It’s not to criticize
his performance or show
because it’s good
but I really should
be more active than this
Used to be
I was automatically out
on Friday night
no questions asked
Well, now I’m old,
lonely, bitter
and more tired
than ever before
Destiny be a bitch
or so they say
and you’ll not hear
a peep of protest from me
