FROM A MAJOR I GOT A MISSIVE

THIS IS REALLY TOO PERMISSIVE

FOR THIS ILLITERATE SERF

NOT TO THE MANOR BORN


NOW THIS MAJOR'S NAME IS DOMO

I'M SURE FROM ITALY'S BOOT IS HE

OR MAYBE FRANCE OR MAYBE SPAIN

OR MAYBE HE SAILED AROUND CAPE HORN


ANYWAY THIS MAJOR DOMO

A MAJOR IN THE PALACE GUARD

I THINK HE DOESN'T KNOW I'M JUST A PEASANT

WITH A "LIFE MEMBER" ALUMNI CARD


I WASN'T EVEN A "CALAIS BURGHER"

WHO STAKED HIS LIFE TO SAVE THE TOWN--

IT WAS ONLY AT THE "OLD FROST FUNCTION"

I HAD A "WALK-ON" IN "CAP AND GOWN"


THAT DAY WE STROLLED "ARM IN ARM"

MOM AND DAD AND ME

ALL "GOWNED UP" AND BEAMING WITH JOY

LIKE WE WERE IN "OLD PARIS ('PA REE')


WHICH REMINDS ME WHAT THE OLD PROF SAID

WHEN WE WALKED ABOUT "ARM IN ARM" (WITH MOM):

"HOW DO YOU KEEP THEM DOWN IN PARIS ('PA REE')

ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN ON 'THE FARM'..."
