Commitment

before the mammoth's
mammoth turd;
before the tweet of some bald bird.
before Neil Diamond
tried to sing
i've been coming ... ding-a-ling!

before banana boats set sail;
before the bloodhound
found its tail.
before a sock rolled
in a thong
i've been coming all along,

long before we knew a thing
about the stars
my ding-a-ling
has rocketed it's milky way
to keep me coming to this day.
