Cherie Sherabou from Novum Ovum by Saba Lou

All the colors of the neon rainbow
Peek out the door and let that rustbrown mane flow
Hardly see you but I know you’re around
You couldn’t leave here cause you’re feather-boa-bound

The last thing they’d call you is bland
No need to tell you that your wallpaper is grand
Make some guests never wanna leave
Others bleed from their ears yelling “jeez”

We drank champagne and watched the glitzless mob trod
Behind those doors you’d go far beyond foxtrott
Head high in paintfumes, make the passerbys shudder
No smell on earth could make your eyelids flutter

How many mistuned pianos does it take
To give this kinda blossom just a little break
The kind of flower that defines its woods
Goes further than any other flower could

Cherie sherabou’s never made a mistake
No, scratch that, so many it makes her heart ache
Cherie sherabou’s never told a lie
Cause no one dares to try and clarify

So she will sit here and she’ll stare your bones blank
And when she sings you feel your brain change ranks
Who knows how long it’s been, who knows how long she’ll stay
Go and see her at the week’s end or a tuesday
