Misquoted

As it concerns horseback riding
Bareback being a totally gay term now
Google it --
And to think we once used to have the big cabin and not be rustic gay
Bears in flannels with gun racks
Deep woods brown
With plaid orange and beige
Gurgleberry Boredberry Spurberry
Now we play outdoors
Tennis or something
Like badminton and shooting birdies
Eating light and wearing beards
With wives in hives
Who get fat
Because there is
Really not much salad
Going on
Even for
Manhattan
There is to go
Take out
Pick up
Tap out
Make out
Fake out
Tap that
Frap that
Flap out
Fat out
Pick up game out
Gay men out
Mouth out
Fantasy league porn sports

Buying the farm store
Dollar store from last year
Cold storage store
Kids store
So many kids so nice
Citysearch
Can't decide
Whether to go
Four or five stars
Upstate
Where food and kids are not
Deformed
Unless it's supposed to be
Supposed to look like that
Slightly droopy
Suppressed
Not tired

There we were
At the
Barnes and Noble
Shopping for quiet spaces
Heaving our bodies on the floor
In some children's section
Because we do not have similar tastes
Because
I will not watch that show
Because I will make them cook and clean
How'd you get them to do that
Without a show on MTV
Or VH1
Or Super Mario Nick Jr. HTV
We had to read
Because there was quiet
We bathed in silence
And hummed or whistled
Songs from the fish market
Songs about fish
Or stores where they sell fish
Or fish storage
My kids watch tv
It's terrible
Falling beneath the surface line
In some tub
Drowning on silence
Sucking water in through the ears
Eating watercress salads
And tapping out
Rather than read a book

Whenever you want
But I have plans
It's not Broadway
But could you do me a favor
I like during the week
How do I submit
Just do that for me
Bite my bullet
Sun spots
Deformities
Feed me silver
I need to be a dirty stay out
I can't do make up on the train
Make out on the train
It's big and hairy and gay
But it's not Broadway
Too intellectual for me
