The New Roomate
The New Room Mate
There was a fly
In my house, yesterday
I refused to kill the thing
Suppose I have taken this
Buddhist thing too seriously
Something my Mom said about
My great uncle popped in my head
“Name the fly and ask him to go away”
So I said
Bob, get the fuck out of here”
He didn’t leave
So I said
“Christopher, get the fuck out of here”
Still didn’t leave
He’s somewhere in my house
Suppose I have a new roommate
Damn those Buddhists
