“Gee You’re So Beautiful That It’s Starting to Rain” By Richard Brautigan

By Richard Brautigan

Oh, Marcia,

I want your long blonde beauty

To be taught in high school,

So kids will learn that God

Lives like music in the skin

And sounds like a sunshine harpsichord.

I want high school report cards

            To look like this:

Playing with Gentle Glass Things

     A

Computer Magic

     A

Writing Letters to Those You Love

     A

Finding out about Fish

     A

Marcia’s Long Blonde Beauty

      A+!
