Pomes in a Pail: Music
14. TANGLED WEB
(Jenny/Mendoza. Singers: Rachel Cerrone & Giselle Ruecking)
Cymbal-phonic!
Your little league, your team or group
Your treehouse club, your brownie troop
Your clan, your tribe, your sewing bee
Your flavor of ethnicity
Your civic pride, your marching band
Your stars and stripes, your motherland
Your happy home, your sweet kibbutz
Your hallowed ground, your tangled roots
CHORUS:
Your pack, your pod, your trusted crew
Your herd, your hive, your tea for two
Your bestest bud, your friend in need
Your shared beliefs, your common creed
Your native tongue, your local gang
Your Brooklynese, your southern twang
Your solemn oath, your secret shake
The sweetheart on your wedding cake
Your Sunday songs in celebration
The cat that shares your isolation
Your loyal pooch, your teddy bear
The little man who isn’t there
REPEAT CHORUS
Your ghosts of old ancestral lore
The guy who runs the corner store
Your village hall, your state and nation
The whole confused conglomeration
REPEAT CHORUS
Your countless links, by choice or birth —
Are your membership on planet Earth.
