Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 16, 2024

Oh Petey, she’s a girl, she knows.

Oh, your mother would have known, too.

I like the something something part, always brings tears to my eyes.

The simple clarity of childhood vices

We are winter’s jewels,

Dancing through the air.

Not enough to cancel school.

Life is so unfair.

Viola and Petey make a great couple. Their offspring would be just like Ernesto, but leaning left.

OMG, to a (drum roll… trumpets) GIRL.

Alice can’t remember her part as the snowflake, but can know what Petey has in his backpack?! XD!!

Extra perspiration suspicions I bet!

Let’s all get up and dance to a song

That was a hit before your mother was born

Though she was born a long long time ago

Your mother should know (your mother should)

Your mother should know

Ha! I love these sidewalk interactions between Alice and Petey.

Viola and Petey sittin’ in a tree…

Either that’s a big heavy present or a bunch of Christmas cards to Viola.

Little sisters always know…
