Is that all there is?

somehow the peggy lee song,
is that all there is comes on the radio.

oldies. xm 60's channel.

it was followed by jimi Hendrix
are you experienced.

but I really like the peggy lee song.

it's quite maudlin and ridiculous on
many levels, but
I really like it.
and once I hear it. it sticks in my
head like bubblegum
to my shoe.

if that's all there is my friend,
then let's keep dancing....

I often say that when I pull the last
potato chip
out of a bag,

or when I go for the last slice
of chocolate cake,

or when I tip the bottle of grey
goose and few drops
trickle out,

or when the love of my life turns
out to be
not the love of my life, but some
figment of my fertile
imagination.

that shallow, really?

is that all there is?

i'm thinking of getting that phrase
tattooed to my
arm,
or on my chest.

is that all there is,
after I have the word next removed
by a laser.

I hope no one ever says that to me.
is that all there is,
although,
I think they have.
