I Was Talking To Oswald
i was talking to Oswald
when Oswald says to me he says "you’re living in a fool’s paradise Samm if you think, if you that you’re free" i said "well i know I’m free next Thursday cause I ain’t yet made no plans" he said "come on over to my house then and I’ll show you how to walk on your hands" so when Thursday finally rolled around i headed over to Oswald’s place i knocked on his door for an hour till he answered with a sad, sad look on his face he said "Samm we’ve had a death in the family a distant cousin that I never knew but he left me ten dollars and a banjo string and an old brown wingtip shoe" i said "alright then Oswald i got an idea for us friend that inheritance you just came into we could buy us some wine with that ten" he said "hey man I’m still grieving" i said "the wine will surely help with that" he said "alright then I’m with you Samm let me go get my coat and hat" so we set off walking down the boulevard making our way to the liquor store ah but when we arrived we saw a little sign it was stuck on the locked front door now the sign was written in Russian which neither one of us could read so Oswald says let’s "go to the park there’s a pigeon there that I want to feed" we got to the park and we looked for the bird but that particular one wasn’t there Oswald says "I won’t be feeding these others they can fly off and die for all I care" then we saw a policeman approaching all dressed up in riot gear Ozzie said "Samm, let’s do a two man riot" I said "better yet, let’s get on outta here" so we eased up off of the park bench and tried to stroll away nonchalant we made it to the corner then the cop fired some tear gas and we ducked into a restaurant the waitress said "what can I get you boys?" I said "i’d like a bowl of black eyed peas" Oswald studied the menu, he said "give me just a moment please" about an hour later he had finally decided what it was that he wanted to eat but just then there come a big commotion something happening out on the street it seems a manhole had exploded there was steam shooting up like a geyser Oswald stepped out to get a closer look hadn’t even touched his appetizer he hollered “Samm if I jump up on top of that I reckon it’d carry me to outer space” I said “don’cha do it Oswald” but I could tell he would because he had that certain look on his face and then he jumped on top and shot right out into outer space |
