If you're interested - February 18th, 2008

A virtual conversation earlier today brought something to mind about a Walrus man I had once written an ode to...if only I could manage more than three chords... with rests in between... on my guitar without getting what amounts to wanker's cramp on my fret hand I might have called it a ballad...

 Who me...?


Walrus came to town today..
See his woman I heard them say..
Got to keep her sweet you see...
Needs a place to crash for free.

Stay away from Walrus man..he will hurt you if he can.

Lying's easy for Walrus man..
Been caught once..just upped and ran..
Always another to hear him talk..
Someone else's boat to rock.

Stay away from Walrus man..he will cheat you if he can.

Walrus charm is just skin deep..
Beneath his shell the man is cheap..
Thinking of himself alone..
Walrus heart is made of stone.

Stay away from Walrus man..he will fool you if he can.

Talk of morals and doing right..
Killing trust when out of sight..
Devious man in every way..
Read between the words he says.

Stay away from Walrus man..he'll deceive you if he can.

Walrus man will make a stair...
Of decent people everywhere..
Lie and cheat to get his way..
Come Sunday on his knees to pray.

Stay away from Walrus man..he'll step on you if he can.

Look right through the Walrus skin..
See the beast that lives within..
A parasite..an evil  troll
Buried deep in the Walrus soul.

Stay away from Walrus man..he'll corrupt you if he can.

Walrus man I know so well..
Listen to the words I tell..
'Cos Walrus man he knows no loving..
Only grunting..pushing..shoving.

Stay away from Walrus man..he will screw you if he can.
