Taco Craving

Do you know what I would do
for just one taco right now?
If I had just one or maybe two
I know I'd be alright somehow.

Could someone sneak some in
maybe throw it up to the window?
They think I'm set up here
with my Jello and Nintendo.

WATCH OUT! Ice chips flying
don't dare open that door again!
unless you're bearing taco gifts
only then, you're welcome in.

Across the street is Taco Bell
can't stand it, pull the drape,
in the dark with Jello and Frogger
hooked to machines, no escape.

*thinking* maybe if I say I gotta pee
and ask the nurse to let me be
I can climb out and shimmey down the wall
bare butt hanging out and all
dodging traffic like Frogger would
smelling tacos, smelling good.

But my luck they'd say to me
look, see...
"no shirt, no shoes, no service" policy

I'd hafta come over the counter then
as the men in white coats come running in
I'd shove a taco in my mouth whole
yep, another taco craving out of control.

The nurses run for cover
hiding out till my ice melts
rubbing their butts, sore with welts
saying "I sure wish they'da built
that Taco place somewhere else."
