Heathcliff by Peter Gallagher for August 22, 2021

Never one to “cloud” the issues.

After breakfast naps are the most vivid.

“Would” jump, huh? I guess Soho is no mo’.

Hey hey you you get out from my clod…

Clue number one was when you knocked on Meat Store

Clue number two was the Helmet that you wore

And that’s when I knew, it was a pretty good sign

That something was sleeping up on cloud number nine

Well it’s a long way up and we won’t come down tonight

Well it may be wrong but kitty it sure feels right

And the sun is out and bubble gums in flight

And whatever comes it’s gonna be alright

’Cause today you will sleep fine, up on cloud number nine

And there ain’t no meat that I’d rather eat

And we can’t go back without bubble gum fleet

Yeah, the snores are really mine, up on cloud number nine

Now he beat you and you eat me

And that wasn’t the way it was supposed to be

So kitty tonight let’s leave the world behind

And nap some time up on cloud number nine

It’s a long way up and we won’t come down tonight

Well it may be wrong but kitty it sure feels right

And the sun is out and bubble gums in flight

And whatever comes it’s gonna be alright

’Cause today you will sleep fine, up on cloud number nine

Well we won’t bubble gum flight

Ya we won’t bubble gum flight

No we won’t bubble gum flight…

’Cause the sun is out and no gums in flight

And whatever comes it’s gonna be alright

’Cause today you will sleep fine, up on cloud number nine

And there ain’t no meat that I’d rather eat

And we can’t go back without bubble gum fleet

Yeah, the snores are really mine, up on cloud number nine

Yeah, we can snooze as garbage ape goes by, up on cloud number nine.

…

With aplogies to Martin Karl Sandberg, Bryan Adams, Gretchen Peters

Now that’s something they can all agree on.

If you don’t get sunburned.

fly away…

Looks like he’s on cloud nine ;-)
