i love her

Part one

PALM TREES
STANDING GORGEOUS
ERECT AND REGAL
THEY CALL TO ME
THEY WHISPER THINGS TO EACH OTHER
THEY GLISTEN IN THE HOT CALIFORNIA SUN
THEY PROMISE MANY THINGS TO MANY PEOPLE
FAME
FORTUNE
LOVE
SWEET SUMMER ROMANCE
SOMEHOW ALL I EVER GOT FROM THEM
IS THEY'RE NICE TO LOOK AT
AND THEY'VE NEVER LET ME DOWN...

Part two

THE PROBLEM WITH PALM TREES IS
THERE'S NOTHING PRACTICAL ABOUT THEM
THEY OFFER NO SHADE IN THE SUMMER
NO WARMTH IN THE WINTER
THEY JUST LOOK GOOD
HOW PERFECT FOR CALIFORNIA.
