Your Own Assumption

Everyone takes the ice of mine
Everyone reads 'Of Mice and Men'
Everyone stands

Anyone here got the time
Anyone here can read that line
Anyone laughs

Especially when the leaves are green
Especially with a healthy spleen
Especially now

Privately put the money back
Privately pat your own back
Privately sell

Probably like to weep and wail
Probably assumed I'd tell a tale
Probably not

Across the seas in an old clay jar A journey vast, a journey far A small seed hidden amongst the cargo From Portugal west, on past Key Largo...
