Pluck Myself With Creamy + Deleteable Advert

________________________________________________________________________________________________

I can pluck apples
from your
peach tree

Dance on your ceiling,
your wife
or your knee

Laugh like Louisiana
in the middle
of Maine

Fill the sky
with stars
in the pouring
rain

Tear you with jeers
or bore you
to tears

Fondle your fears
with a midnight
house call
or 
ask you 
to play
flag football

BUT
I'd rather
give you 
my love
than do
all 
of the above

I'm a man 
not a menace

***

    Elephants are dancing on the graves of squealing mice.

    CREAM would never have broken up
    if they did a lot more songs like
    Anyone For Tennis with its seamless blend
    of Rock, Violins and Poetry

      So true: Clapton would have been compared
      to Rimbaud rather than BB King

      Thanks for the brilliant conclusion...
      If Eric had modeled himself after Rimbaud
      then maybe more Rock n Roll fans
      would have realized the Black underbelly
      of a music that is 90% White

      Sorry, Mr. Oliverio but Rock n Roll fans
      are much too stoned to realize anything related
      to musical history and influence.
