Still it's nice to know, when our bodies wear out, we can get another

I have a Purple Rain longbox in my collection. Now I'll have to dig through my boxes to find it so I can read that poem smile

Here it is. smile

Dig if u will the picture - of u and I engaged in a kiss. The sweat of your body covers me. Can u picture this, my darling? An ocean of violets engulf our persons. A bird screams. At 1st, I think it's u And u thought it was me. Oh, if only violets could talk. Insecurities. Do u know who u are? Then it doesn't matter who screamed 1st. Did it matter who ate of the apple 1st? The end result was negative. Can u pass me the pepper? Why, because u told me salt was bad 4 me. I thought u liked eggs. I thought u liked me. Well, eggs are the only thing I can make besides a baby. Why do u look at me like that? What are u thinking? I know u better than u think I do. There's this purple suspicion that lurks in the anals of my mind that u and I are alike in more ways than 6. Can u relate? Oh yeah? Then what's the difference between a beautiful man and an ugly man with money? Nothing. As far as you're concerned. Do u still want to spend the night? Good. Come on. U said u would wash my hair. Shall we go swimming 1st? U can't swim. Wonderful. I'll teach u. "I'll teach u 2 swim, I'll teach u 2 try, I'll teach u 2 laugh, but not 2 cry. I'll teach u 2 trust me when u think I lie, I'll teach u 2 love me until we die." It's from a song I wrote. Do u believe that? U do? Well, I lied. I just made it up. Pretty good, huh. It's not nice 2 lie. I think we're on the right track. Shall I wash u 1st or shall u wash me?

Kindof like a friendly version of Bob George.

Aaaww. Think of all the great poetry we're missing out on now that we no longer have longboxes!

Man, that brings back memories!

I have it on the back of my LP, and haven't listened to the LP in at LEAST 15 years! I've been through several PR cassettes and CD's since then . . .

It kinda reminds me of the endings of If I Was Your Girlfriend and Girl too.
