songs, old and new

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

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 Ken 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.
