Dean Friedman Well Well Said The Rocking Chair Shopping Bag Ladies By dean friedman The shopping bag ladies, they live in the terminal waiting room, Patiently whiling their hours away, Desperately keeping their demons at bay, Making up lies about times that were good. Extolling the virtues of motherhood, Staunchly defending their sanity Clutching one last shred of vanity Fixing a kerchief she wears on her head Covered in posies and lilacs in blues and in reds Don't pity me, don't pity me, You beautiful bastard boy, I'll be just how i am. I'll be just how i am. The shopping bag ladies, it's not that well known but they're really in vogue. The latest in fashions their tastes are so true, Sweat sox and sneakers, a sweater or two And safely behind the walls they have made, Secure in their brown paper barricades Worldly possessions they'll not have to lose Lightweight emotional refuse. They rant and they rave, they're mad and they're crazy. And that's how they stay free. Don't pity me, don't pity me, You beautiful bastard boy, I'll be just how i am. I'll be just how i am. The shopping bag ladies, it's hard to believe, but once they were children |
