Other Pleasures - Diana Morrison, Kevin Colson, Ann Crumb

GEORGE:

Jenny,

You’re a miracle!

Is there nothing you conceal?

Jenny,

You astonish me!

Never hiding

What you feel…

Other pleasures…

And I’ve known many…

Afternoons

In warm Venetian squares,

Brief encounters,

Long siestas…

Pleasures old and new

Can’t compare with you.

You amaze me!

Where did you come from?

You do things

Champagne could never do.

Crystal winters,

Crimson summers…

Other pleasures --

I would trade them all

For you.

Pleasures old and new

Can’t compare with you…

Wild mimosa,…

The scent of evening…

Shuttered rooms

With sunlight breaking through…

Crazy soirees…

Lazy Sundays…

Other pleasures…

I would trade them all

For you.

Sailing off

In the night

On a silver lake…

Taking more

From this life

Thank I ought to take…

Other pleasures…

I would trade them all

For you.
