Where's the jacket?

Where's the jacket
(says Ruby)?

Because it's due to get wet,
because it's supposed to get wet.
A jacket gets dry
but clothes don't.

I'll go out first
'cos I'm smaller than you.
If you have a migraine
we'll have to come back.

Things sometimes go the way we want,
and things sometimes don't.
And if you don't get it,
it's too bad.

Sore legs

The more you get sore legs
(says Ruby)
the more you get energy.

But the problem is
that if you get really bad walks,
you can't walk.
You get sore legs
and that's bad.

You couldn't do that,
no you couldn't do 13s and 14s and 15s,
not 8, 39, 100, 102, 103 walks.

You could go too far,
and people will shout in your ear
and you can never hear again.

The person who waves the arm

The person who waves the arm
(says Ruby,

washing the maneki-neko)
gets to wash the arm.

If they be crumb-washed
they can be new-all.

It means nothing
but it can be a bit of a pain.

You have to push hard
as if you're hurting them

but it's just to wash them
shiny and clean.

Eyeshadow

People come to Eyeshadow
(says Ruby)
to buy invisible monkeys
that don't exist.

And hopefully someone will buy
the bad angry girl-hitting
boy monkey.

It's a different Eyeshadow.
The Number 2 Eyeshadow.
