Love/hate matters and crusty ol' letters
Hate/Love-Letters N’ ol’ Crusty Hose-bags: Ray Scott
She brought her laundry over once a week,
Frozen hamburgers and wonder bread
We got on, like the Ropers till I retired to bed
Fireball whisky wore off, she would quietly leave
Broken springs and flat couch cushions
And it’s just another lonely weeknight
Cleanin’ dog hair outta’ the lint trap and my clothes
White noise fan drones on so I can sleep alright
Sawin’ logs n’ wakin’ up to turn the light off on the stove
Locking up the revolving front door
2:00am text from her home
Sweet Serenie, I’ll not worry anymore
Goodnight, sometimes, friend, I’m always here alone
Ah’ sweet Serenie, come cuddle me
Go away. Now, why’d ya’ leave?
Sweet Serenie, can’t ya’ stay?
Love/hate relationship has sailed away
My mind’s like an old apartment building
So many tenants renting space
Management is unforgiving
Landlord’s always on my case
So, come again, please, bring your laundry
N’ fireball, we’ll share a toast
To quiet nights, we’ll think of fondly
Cut you’re the one who I love/hate most
Awe, sweet Serenie
How I hate to love you so
I’m happy and I’m angry
You can leave but please don’t go
Awe, my sweet Serenie
You can bring your diet coke
Takin’ in all my incense smoke
Watch the YouTube videos
Wash yer’ dirty clothes
Overwhelm me with your mind
In pittance of time
Like you just stole from the blind
Away she goes….Away goes sweet Serenie
