I lost my temper with a friend
Mocked him and treated him with rudeness
And though I tried to make amends
Still I miss him I walk a dark corridor
Woke up one morning
Doctor Buck's letter
Of my own making, I walk a dark corridor Oh my heart
Hoping one day a door will be ajar
At least so we can recompense
The betrayal of our hard won friendship
In vulgar and arrogant abeyance
To what was untrue underneath our parlance
I open the envelope, Doctor Buck's letter
Re: Welfare Benefits reports
J. McCarthy, approximately 10-15 days
I got down, I was depressed.
It was Doctor Buck's letter.
Turn the radio on
Doctor Buck's Letter
Cheer myself up
Put the radio on, get the magazine out
And read about the "˜Essence of Tong'
Checklist:
I never leave home without:
1 Sunglasses: I wear them all year around, I seem to need them more often, it's a habit
2 Music: cassettes CDs
3 Palm Pilot: it's my lifeline I think it's my P.A.'s computer, she rules my diary and I download it
4 Mobile phone
5 Amex card; They made such a fuss about giving it to me that I spent more time getting it turned down.
I was in the realm of the essence of Tong.
