Ecru - Ken Nordine

Ecru is a critic

Loves to see the show

Just doesn’t know when to say yes

And when to say no

But that’s because of beige

You see, beige has taught ecru

A funny point of view

That true is like false and false is like true

Who could expect to get anything straight?

Like an answer, I mean

From an ecru that thinks

Or thinks that it thinks by the thought it was taught

That love is the same as hate

That shouldn’t’s the same as should

That dumb is the same as smart

That bad is the same as good

A kind of critical confusion in critic

Could’ve have complications almost arithmetic

Those of us, are there any?

Too many

Who have to know exactly what to do, what to see, what to say, what to think

Will have to wait until ecru is ready with his double talking trade to make

steady unsteady

Calling crooked straight

But what the heck, you know, ecru

Just a free loading critic who loves to see the show

Just doesn’t know when to say yes

Or when to say no
