songs, old and new

Tokyo, 2008.06.02

There's an old Monty Python song that goes:I've got two legs /from my hips to the ground.

And when I move 'em /I walk around.

And when I lift 'em /I climb the stairs.

And when I shave 'em /they ain't got hairs.

I've been singing this to The Boy since my wife was about four months pregnant.

I've recently added a second verse, which goes:I've got two hands /from here to my fists.

And when I shake 'em /they go like this.

And when I clap 'em /they make a sound.

And when I hold you /they go around.
