Tug

Chug-a-chug chug

Over the waves I dug

Tug-a-tug tug

Tugged over the out-stretched hands that I outreached

Overcome, Over-go

Bow-tied up you were

For me to be amazed

Clouds of perfume smoke

Float like balloons

I grow I shrink

I learn I teach

I sow I reap

Oh, my darling in my arms

I tug at your shirt

I tug at your heart

I tug at my collar

I’m the ugly boy

With a gorgeous girl

I never thought to have

Easy come Easy go

Easy reap Easy sow

Our love is just too easy to bestow

Yet I never ever know

Why, oh, why so easy

Bug-a-bug bug

A bug in the road

Never stopped us

Too soon is too late

That I’ll hold you again

In the eye-range of the sky

In the midnight of the day

The ocean removes its curtains

Tightens its screws

Removes its garments

And so do we, you and me

In my momentary memories

In our gorgeous tapestries

To reap and sow two and frow

Chug-a-chug chug

Tug boat tugs

On through the two’s and frow’s of life.
