1. In “Swordfishtrombones”, why did the doughboy get 30 days for lovin her from an Oklahoma governor? The judge should have done the sentencing. This verdict could easily be overturned in an appeal.
2. In “Picture in a Frame,” how did the sun come up blue and gold? Surely the sky was blue and not the sun, or an unprecedented astronomical phenomena went by otherwise unnoticed.
3. In “Eyeball Kid,” if he rolled off to join the circus, telling fortunes on the side, what was his main occupation? There are other logical gaps in this song (how does he breathe, how does he think, when he can’t even move and he can’t even blink?) but this one stands out among the others.
4. In “Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis,” how does the hooker intend to drive a different car every day depending on how she feels? Where will she drive these cars? What if there are more moods than cars, or vice versa? Is it ethical for her to drive the used cars?
5. In “Tango Til They’re Sore,” the main character falls out the window with nothing to cushion his fall but confetti in his hair. This seems fine.

A fine compendium Myles. I’d like to add that in his “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” Tom Waits states that, “a good man is hard to find,” which is incorrect because we know where you live. rofl, LoL, etc.
You may know where I live but that doesn’t make me easy to find. At the moment, I can be found in the garden, singing this song, when the last rose of summer is gone. I’ll be the two eyes peering at you from under a poinsettia leaf. Why are you growing poinsettias in January?
Also, you can, indeed, meet nice girls in coffee shops. I should know.
