what kind of dream do you want to hide in?
let me help you — I have a catalogue
maybe someone should have told me what a beard is
before it all began, but I wouldn’t have understood
I was innocent and full of love, I was convinced
we were meant to be. I was swept off my webbed feet
the clothes, the cars, the parties, it was everything I imagined
it’s too bad your imagination is so limited when you’re young
it wasn’t long before I couldn’t ignore what was going on
right under my beak
that was when my heart broke into a million pieces
Minnie knew how to handle it — she’s as tough as the Mouse
he won’t admit it but she scares him — I wish I was so strong
(The counterfoil to the world’s most famous duck. She first appeared “stepping out” and she hasn’t quit since. GG)
