~

Like the brand new car

all shiny and bright,

~

that even its reeks

smell with delight.

~

The vogue of the moment

to make your mind right.

~

The new car gets ga-raged,

special treatment tonight.

~

It’s the brand new thang

that’s shiny and bright.

~

The vogue of the moment,

for at least, overnight.

~

A thang?       A thang?

and just what is this?

~

You silly old thing,

a thang don’t exist.

~

It doesn’t?       They don’t?

Then something’s not right.

~

It’s the thang of the moment

I’m trying to fight.
