Fig with a Bellyache

[Verse 1]

The camel in the desert took a ship across the lake

While the fish in search of water found a fig with a bellyache

Who overheard the waves as they headed for the shore

"We're not so sure of separations anymore."

At the caterpillar picnic, brother butterfly stole

A rhubarb stem, licked and dipped it in the sugar bowl

Caught out for Massachusetts in a double-stacked train

Through the Adirondacks, spinning like a weather vane

Gathering and cutting and splitting and stacking the wood

Our fuel is neatly piled and we all feel good

[Verse 2]

We pretend to care and like we understand

Our eyes go soft but know it now:

What we're thinking about is your mammary glands

And how to sail your birth canal

We found the pot that fit the lid

To know less now then when we were smarter did

Our thoughts are like a tea bag on

The saucer: all the flavor gone

[Verse 3]

The dog below our waist's aroused

As arms embraced the pretty gals

It came much more as a surprise

It happening while I hugged the guys

We planted before the final frost

We once were found and now we're lost

We've got a heck of a lot to learn

About remaining taciturn
