SUGAR
One, two, buckle your seatbelt. This plane
Is taking off for home, wherever that is
In your 90 year old mind. You said you
Wanted to go home, so I am taking you
Home, to Buffalo, where you have never
Been, Mother. You have lived so long
I am a Senior Citizen! The 28 years
Between us is a crack in the sidewalk
Or a hole as big as the sugarbowl
You attack when your nurse's back
Is turned. Your sweet-toothed dotage!
Your horde of M and Ms! not good for you,
But what the hell, hell, hell.
Now, as Tex, our Captain, says, sit back,
Relax, and experience a little turbulence.
The crowd on the runway at the Queen City, Old Gal,
Awaits you as at the opening of the Erie Canal.
