Simon and I were working on his Word Masters words yesterday, and one of the words he had to define was “fleeting.” We always use the words in a sentence, usually including potty humor. As we were deciding whether or not a fart could be fleeting I remembered the phrase “a fleeting tear rolls down her mind’s eye” from a song called “Maria” that I wrote in college using the poetry of a URI student named Claire Attracta Dugan.
In honor of Simon’s recent perfect score on a Word Masters test, in celebration of the word fleeting, and in memory of a youthful Greg who was more influenced by the Psychedelic Furs than he knew at the time, here is the Amphibians performing Maria.
