I’m listening to the song
Please Come to Boston,
one of my favorites.
Oh how I love that
song and its lyrics
partly because
originally I’m from
close to Boston.
And I like the way he
plaintively pleads with
a woman to come and
be with him in the
places he moves to.
But I’m thinking to myself
that he should quit
screwing around and just
be with her.
And if he keeps screwing
by moving to different
places that she, his
number one fan, doesn’t
want to move to, he
could rightfully lose her.
And were I him, I wouldn’t
risk losing her.
And even if I had to go
through the burning
flames of a hell
instead of nice places
like he’s going to
in the song
I’d do it
just to be with her.
Bob Boyd
