Just curious what stays with people...

"death came, death came and gave you his kiss
death came, death came
and took you away from this

Oh, I miss you so
and I long to know
why death  gave you his kiss"


"Death Came" Lucinda Williams

Some shorties but goodies from John Hiatt’s big bag of similies;

“ ...we rolled that Camaro like a cowboy cigarette...”
“...river winding like an old man’s fiddle...”
”...she was smiling like the last survivor in a lifeboat...”
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?
If your mother says don't chew it,
Do you swallow it in spite?
Can you catch it on your tonsils,
Can you heave it left & right?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?
