OUT ON A STEAM GRATE IN BRYN MAWR
Copyright © Susan Werner
Description: Guitar

Out on a steam grate in Bryn Mawr
Since I've been homeless it's been home sweet home
Although the residents may moan and whine
We all know the main line is the place to be

There's no soup kitchen in Bryn Mawr
But you don't have to wander far you know
To find a trashcan full of steak tartare
And caviar, what makes life divine

Why settle just for ravioli
Why fish around for just a can of spam
Just take the local to Paoli
And you'll have Perignon rack of lamb

Not many steam grates in Bryn Mawr
Not many steam grates and they're going fast
I've seen one on Lancaster Avenue
For me and you
Reservations for two

[January 2000]
