that if only – re-written for Robin

melancholy set in
with the boxed up memories
someone released the latch
the flood gates opened
drenching those
in the path
with stories & tales
that only if you had been there
would they tear at your heart
that only if you had been there
could you try to pinpoint that day
that if only had you been there
could you remember the smile
that if only you had been there
could you miss that someone so……. so much

the flood gates opened
drenching those
in the path
with laughter
“You’re only given one little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.”

 

“Do you think God gets stoned? I think so … look at the platypus.”

 

“See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time.”

“Never fight with an ugly person, they’ve got nothing to lose.”

 
“I’m sorry, if you were right, I’d agree with you.”

 

“Comedy is acting out optimism.”

 

“I believe in destiny. There must be a reason that I am as I am. There must be.”
