With a Little Salt and Lime - Edited Version

***Based on the song 'The Sounds of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel Hello Jose my old friend I'm here to guzzle you again The party started before afternoon I started sipping on you far too soon My last SENTENCE I fear was slightly slurred (Vision blurred) Forgot to EEEET...my breakfast The look with pity upon me 'Can't hold his liquor' they agree Now I'm weaving when I try to walk Senseless babble when I try to talk Then I feel the NEEEED to flee to an old-oak-tree (to heave and pee) but cannot LOOOZE...my breakfast Did not like his tone at all Got myself into a brawl I quickly put him in his rightful place Broke his knuckles with my pretty face Shoulda' had my OOOATS but didn't so alas (I kiss the grass) and now my ASSSS...is breakfast In the morning I awake throbbing with a frightful ache Sun-glaring thru the window pane I whine and whimper in my wretched pain In the next room a TEE-VEE-is-blaring and screams in-my-pounding-ear (No thank you dear) Just coffee PLEEEZE, think I'll pass...on breakfast (From a grateful fan of Carolyn Devonshire)

Hi Tim, Sara told me about this and it's brilliant as I came to expect from you. Hope you and your old flame are doing well. I have been very ill, but I wanted to thank you for mentioning me. Haven't been on the site due to my illness. As Spock said, "Live long and prosper," old friend. Love always, Carolyn
