He's in love with a brown paper bag by John Hegley

his mother she was disapointed
it's not exactly what she had in mind
but eventually she came to except it
how could a mother reject it
he's in love and love isn't easy to find
people stop and people stare
people say they're a crazy pair
but there's many a crazy scene
between a husband and a wife
he found it by a market stall
it's a bit screwed up but aren't we all
an empty bag is an empty life
and he doesn't mind if you caress
his little scrap of happiness
he's in love but he doesn't want to possess
and one day he came up to me
he held the bag so tenderly
and he held it out to me
and I said thanks a lot
but I don't think i could cope
I've already got a steady relationship
with a light blue envelope
it was nice of you to offer though
