Poets' Day from Poets' Day by The Chickpea Darlings

Words:

You’re dead now, I suppose
But that won’t stop me writing
Until I’ve ticked your cold coffee
Memo in the morning
And if they ask, then I’ll say
“He’s not gone away
He just left before the boss
It’s poets’ day.”

And ten years down the road
The best motel in Kansas
You’re pouring cold cherry cola from the bottle
And when the check comes I’ll say
“What he owes, I’ll pay
He’s just one step ahead
It’s poets’ day.”

I’m dead now, I suppose
It hasn’t stopped me writing
And now I’ve filed your cold coffee
Memo in the morning
And when they ask, then please say
I’ve not gone away
I just couldn’t stand no more
It’s poets’ day.

I got the last stage out of Dodge
It’s poets’ day
I just had some place to be
It’s poets’ day
I just took an early bath
It’s poets’ day
We just skipped to the last page
It’s poets’ day
