\nare never in a bad mood
\nalways have a jaunty wave as you drive away
\nlook good in your brown shorts
\nwe have an ideal uncomplicated relationship
\nyou\u2019re like a cute boyfriend with great legs
\nwho always brings the perfect present
\n(why, it\u2019s just what I\u2019ve always wanted!)
\nand then is considerate enough to go away
\noh, UPS Man, let\u2019s hop in your clean brown truck and elope !
\nditch your job, I\u2019ll ditch mine
\nlet\u2019s hit the road for Brownsville
\nand tempt each other
\nwith all the luscious brown foods \u2014
\nroast beef, dark chocolate,
\nbrownies, Guinness, homemade pumpernickel, molasses cookies
\nI\u2019ll make you my mama\u2019s bourbon pecan pie
\nwe\u2019ll give all the packages to kind looking strangers
\nlive in a cozy wood cabin
\nwith a brown dog or two
\nand a black and brown tabby
\nI\u2019m serious, UPS Man. Let\u2019s do it.
\nWhere do I sign?<\/p>\n
