Pet Sounds

Is there anything
Better than
A good mood
Piled up with
The Beach Boys as the
Soundtrack of the day?

Walking with a skip
In your step
Enjoying the day
Despite the
Cold rain
And sick children that
Lay down under your
Dilapidated roof

To find yourself
Dancing around
To this rare nugget of happiness

These harmonies
These mini pop operas
Shine so golden
Dripping so many colors
To your wanting chest

And does it break your heart
When you think of Brian Wilson
And his total break down?
His solo genius
All on his own as
His so called friends
Chuck verbal rocks at
His fat head

Brian, if only we could
Have saved you

But don’t you have
A tie dye heart that beats
In a 4/4 pattern
As 33 1/3 spins such joy
For you
Without a single
Gray cloud in that
Sky above you

Do you want to hold hands
And walk for a while
At the zoo
Petting each animal as you
Pass by?

Feeding them
And telling them
Each
That you are so
Glad they are
In your life
At that
Precise moment?

You are in a
Splendid mood today
And you can thank
The young men
With honey voices
Singing for you

Yes you and to
You only

Today,
Wasn’t it just a great
Day?
