A tribute to Geoffrey on his Birthday, May 14th

Post by solongleonard »

The rain falls down on Geoffrey’s head,
his umbrella’s on the table,
his crayon on the bed.
And the corners of the tobacco are ruined since he rolled
He’s stood outside all day and only 2 joints has he sold


He still boxes shadows as any Norwegian Wood.
And the skylight has fallen in (as he forgot to mend it)
And all the rain falls down amen
On the head of last year's man.


I met a lady, she was playing her piano in the dark
Oh one by one she hit the keys
and her name was Noah of Ark.


I was a little barmy, yes my brain has gone to hell;
I want to thank you, Noah’s Ark,
For taking two of me as well.
And though I’m in a rainstorm;
Later on I will apply a fluffy woollen towel to my head and other affected parts of my body
All these soaking boys in your backside,
Goodnight, my boys, kiss kiss, goodnight.


I came on my wedding day
That’s a tradition quite contrived;
Muhammad Ali the bridegroom,
He came and, as a biological consequence, had a baby on the side.


Grate my cheese when naked,
And stand there trembling for me,
And Mohammed Ali used a flamethrower on us both
Like a scene from Porgy and Bess.
And when we lay together, all our flesh it fell like hail
That I had to look inside to see
all the water in a pail

.
Some women wait for Jesus, and some women wait for Michael Cain
you were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off
So I hang up my altar-boy suit
then I hoist my trousers again.
And I take the one who finds my backside
to where it all began
When Jesus ate my honeycomb
And Michael Cain was just any old actor.


And we read from peasant Bibles
that are moist with rum and gin
Now Geoffrey is sketching
His own backside again.


The rain falls down on Geoffrey’s head,
An hour has gone by
And he’s still sketching with his lead
But something soon will happen, he needs to pass the turd;
his thingy will rise up
And it will look really quite absurd.


But the skylight is like a foreskin for a bum I won't rear-end
And all the rain falls down amen
On the head of last year's man.

Geoffrey, I see you have posted since my Birthday Tribute. Yet, you didn't even acknowledge it! Extraordinary behaviour. I want my present back immediately and I can no longer confirm the plans that I stay at your home this summer. Please take this personally.

apologies. i am presently a trifle busy, but, god willing, should be able to accomodate your request for a response within a relatively short period of time. meanwhile, try to exercise a modicum of patience and restraint, find a hobby, try your hand at being creative. be not afraid of failure, simply remember to keep in mind the words of banksy: "if you are willing to do something that might not work, you are closer to being an artist" :-)

thank you, adam. it may, however, be of some relief to you to learn that your warm endearment is by no means unpunctual. having come unregistered into the world in a humble tinker's caravan somewhere near merthyr tydfil in southern wales, and as my longtime confidant michael is fully aware - my exact birthday was never attached to a specific day :-)
