On a song and a bad joke
“Wait for Me” by Hall and Oates
I know I have ‘written several times about this pop group before and may seem obsessed with them, but I really like this song because it shows romantic longing with no misogyny.
“You’ve got a lot to learn, if you think that I’m not waiting for you.” Hall sings.
I wrote my dissertation largely on Waiting for Godot, and a younger grad student wrote it could mean waiting for something very sexually crude. I have read “Godot” might mean “forever” in Gaelic.
I try to keep this blog mainly serious but sometimes get silly, and the poem following the song analysis may seem silly and/or lascivious.
“Rubies” by yours truly (and unruly… sometimes).
“Your boobies are better than rubies.”
“You, sir, have watched too many YouTubies.
Yes, my rubies are nice and could suffice.”
“If it does not work at first, try thrice.”
“That could be nice.”
