the blades of the electric fan
garlanded with flowers

humming like bees
head singing from the first blow

I’ll shoulder the burden of the earth I say
and you can take a holiday see the sights

deliver the apples. Coupla months he reckons
to be away. No worries I say just hold right here

a moment while I get comfy
Tricked he was poor fellow  

And me with the apples
thoroughly undeserving really

My ticket to Paradise
