"Common sense is not so common
but reading is definitely essential if you don't have it"
said the lady in the elevator
I think she's trying to make small talk
and I'm trying to run these lines in my head
"What's that you reading?" She asked
I hesitantly responded...Ralph's Live Naturally
my audition sides were hiding between the pages
"Who is Ralph? She asked
now I'm laughing on the inside but casually tell her that
Ralph's is the grocery store around the corner on 3rd
"On 3rd?" She said it like she's never heard of such
Yes, 3rd Street, this is just a free kind of coupon magazine...
"Free! Ain't nothin' free honey, I can tell you that from experience"
not today lady
Well one day I'd love to hear all about it but I'm late for an appointment
thank God we finally made it to the 23rd floor
"Common sense ought to tell you to leave earlier to be on time"
see, that right there...reason #15 why I don't talk to strangers
You're absolutely right mam, Common sense should've told me that
Have a great day!
