Our man in Europe/dave delacroix/ Syracuse...


1)  Corneille.


 We are poor little lambs
 (BAA-thingies)
who've lost our way; Baa, baa, baa.
We don't GOT nuttin'
but the REST is free; baa-baa-baa.

Cutlets? Lamb chops! "Lamb-chops!?"
-she's out back; she's back there
every night!
We are poor little lambs,
we've lost our way: Baa-baa-baa.

She went to Corneille (University)
and got her Degree; baa-baa-baa.
And now she's rocking on my knee;
baa-baa-baa.

Show me da MUTTON!
Cut me the wool!
Dice me a god damn Mission!
Are U a FAN... yet invisible?
College fees!!!?

We are poor little lambs,
and don't know Crapolla!
Baa-baa-baa.
YO! Poor little lambs,
everyone U meet: baa-baa-baa.



2)  "Si vive suca due volte."  (U only suck twice.)

U only suck twice.
THREE times?
 Busted!
-at birth and death.
 The rest is in-between.
 Whisky, maybe?
 And kissing those TITS?
 She looks down at you:
 "U made them erect!, JAMES!"
(BOND) -she says.  And...
"What's your next trick?"
... You only suck twice.

(Tick-tock. Tick-tock.)



3)  Argentina.

Don't frickin' cry for ME
Argentina; eat the Gnocchi
here, in Syracuse;

sipping on the Eternal beer
which - Epiphany! - is all
so mortal? And... don't cry.
Please don't.

"Don't cry for ME
IL MONDO!"  -U wail?
(It won't). And U, now
forgotten, dust.
FRICKIN DUST.

WHOA! An echo? A smile?
A lingered question?

Was it U sayin':
"Was I foolin' God?
Or was God foolin',
and foolin'  ME?"

Don't cry for me, Argentina?
U are left, "arrivederci"
without the leaving.



4)  Rabbi.

U are da Rabbi. Pretty
as U can see?
BADGED and CHAINED,
true or false;
a soliloquy.

U are da Rabbi. Pretty
as U can see. Under
azure sky, on a beach, perhaps?
But not naked.

Da Rabbi SEZ!
Da Rabbi ACTS!
In solitude?

U are da Rabbi
under azure sky, and
a glint of sun
on a Talmud sea,
languishing,
like a weary kaddish.
