LuLu’s Was The Place For Me

We moved out, way out to the Key Peninsula, in Washington State.

To a town called Home. Population may have been 53.

The beauty, that surrounded was so brilliant, you would not believe.

One little restaurant called LU LU’S was just about all that was there.

I decided to apply for a job, thinking they would all be taken.

I was working the very next day. I work ten years there. That was the place to be.

What a place this was with lots of different characters you would see.

They were all people who had moved here to get away from society.

And all the rules to follow. 

Mississippi Tom, was one of these, he lived just down street from us.

Everyday he would come in, to have his drinks you see.

At times he would be devoid of his clothes. He always was doing strange stuff.

Many times it was too much.

Did I tell you Home use to be a nudist colony, I not sure if he was a left over from those days or not, or if just got too hot.

Then there schizophrenic Dan, he was ok as long as he was on his Medication.

But when he was not. He took off his clothes and danced in the road with a saber,you see.

These were just a couple of the strange things to see, out on the Key.

Their was a lot of good to be had, if you needed help everyone was there,

That’s for sure. There was a lot of kindness, that I saw.

LU LU’S was the only place to be, and I’m glad that I was there.
