The Joke Is On Him.

Leo Cooper is searching through bins of dusty LPs
At the used record store in my head.

He is looking for copies of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass' "____________________".

The used record store is in my head.
I can make anything happen here.

So I stop time,
Remove all Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass records,
"____________________" or otherwise,
Set them on fire in the middle of the store
And restart time.

Leo Cooper is befuddled.
One could say he is dumbfounded.
I would say the joke is on him.

Leo Cooper storms out of the used record store in my head
And I spend the night warming my hands
Over Herb Alpert's smoldering ruins.
