AS IF

Our summer neighbors were two women from Manhattan; β€œplaywrights”, they said.

There was endless β€œlesbian” speculation.

The writers called their weekend cottage β€œIntermission” – tres cool!

Idiots foolishly obsessed over the whole gay thing.

β€œWho gives a fuck?” I argued. β€œThey’re authors!”

β€œSays the storyteller!” the idiots jibed.

  1. Nancy, you do tend to find some great songs from some of my favourite singer/songwriters. This one being one. I’ve been following Elvis Costello’s (Declan McManus) career from the very beginning, when his aim was true πŸ™‚

    1. Thanks so much, Glyn. I try my best but I love it when someone comes along with an even better song. I can always count on my friend Ivor to do that!
      I love the way you put that …. “when his aim was true”! 😁
      I’ve become a fan of his wife lately, Diane Krall …. quite the sultry songbird.
