season of the witch

this song

reminds me of Betty,

i tell my love

as we drive

down the highway

heading to 

the beach

for a three-day getaway.

i'm sick and tired of hearing about

Betty, she tells me,

slamming 

her hand against

the dashboard.

what's up with you and Betty?

aren't you over

her yet?

i turn the radio up

and sing along,

it's Donovan singing

Season of the Witch, one

of my

favorite songs.

look, a Dairy Queen

up ahead,

how about we stop for ice-cream,

i tell her,

which calms her down.
