Lessons From History

© 2008 Tom Hoelle

Well it seemed like she wasn’t gonna find her way back home with me

Unless I made a real impression

So I told her what she wanted to hear – and made a pitch for the cause

I said I was on track to go back for another fortune from divestitures

Which, thank God, she didn’t question

But much to my surprise, with a glow in her eyes

She said “So, baby, what you need from me?”

I didn’t think she’d buy it but I still had to try it just to see

I said this stress is so much – that I could use a soft touch

And she moved a little closer to me!  (Yeah!)

That’s when I started thinking maybe we were on the brink of something special

And I didn’t want to blow it

But when I asked her what she thought of my plan

She cited Lessons From History

Every man she’d ever met had a plan or a bet

Here's a fun little tune...  from Tomography!
