Falling DILWID before David Pond even existed.

I am so desperately in love with her. / So DILWID. / Realizing her initials, I notice that. Published at the web's largest poetry site.
[Verse 1]
Well, I dreamed I was a-dancing with
Isadora Duncan
In a silver café
It was a café that was not at all near here
She was a-planning to diversify
And she sang I should do the same
So I whistled to her how I loved her the best
[Chorus]
But she sang
"I, I can't believe
You own this attitude"
[Verse 2]
But with some ballet moves
I removed her shoes
And I painted my lips to hers
[Chorus]
And still she sang
"I, I can't believe
You own this attitude"
She sang
"I, I can't believe
You own this, this attitude"
[Verse 3]
She needed her beauty sleep
Though I d-didn't want it, uh, to sound like that
Her mind was occupied
Her hard coffee was cold, by then, as snow
[Refrain]
And she sang "My smile is a-more than pearly white
And my dreams are more than you"
She sang "My yellow eyes are more than mirrors
And my scarf is a-more, m-more than blue"
[Chorus]
And she sang
"I can't believe
You own this attitude"
Yes, I sang
"I, I can't believe
You own this, this attitude"
[Verse 4]
She closed her New Directions paper book
And screamed "There is no shelter in the arts"
She'd been crying all day
But now, her eyes, they were brighter than the moon
[Refrain]
And she sang "My smile is a-more than pearly white
And my dreams are more than you"
She sang "My yellow eyes are more than mirrors
And my scarf is a-more, more, m-more than blue"
[Chorus]
And she sang
"I can't believe
You own this attitude
I can't believe it
I can't believe
You own this attitude
I can't believe it
I can't believe
You own this, this attitude"
