the Sunday after
Thanksgiving,
there is a fat
Bettina on the train

I am sorely disappointed
but I don't want to show it

at least the boy beside me
is clean and isn't
Creepy Dave
or something...
a fat Bettina could be worse

I don't like Bettina,
and I like the fat one
even less

there is a fat Bettina
on the train,
going all the way to Boston.
Luckily, I'm saved at Penn
and I can mix with the panhandlers
that waddle around
and I reject

but anyway
I've been reading what I wrote all night
there are better things coming
than what I wrote all night
and that's just so true

the fat Bettina
on the train
just wouldn't understand
what's so magical
about it all

there is a fat Bettina
on the train
the Sunday
after the turkeys died
