Author's notes: The idea for this came to me on the 24 of December, 1997. This Christmas present is a little late. Hope y'all don't mind.
All comments laudatory, flammatory and in between are deeply appreciated.
Miscellania
1. The old children's song Jun sings is the "One-two-three-four-five, six-seven-eight-nine-ten, eleven-twelve song," that used to be on "The Electric Company," a show once produced by the Children's Television Workshop.
2. The lyrics to "Oh girl" by the Chi-lites (Which is available on Vol I of the Crooklyn soundtrack).
Oh girl,
I'd be in trouble
if you left me now.
Cause I don't know where to look for love,
I
just don't know how.
Oh girl,
how I depend on you,
To
give me love when I need it,
right on time you will always
be.
All my friends call me a fool.
They say, let the woman
take care of you.
So I try to be hip, think like a crowd.
But
even the crowd can't help me now.
Oh girl,
tell me what am
I gonna do.
I know I got a guilty face,
Girl, I feel so out of
place.
Don't know where to go,
who to see.
Oh,
girl,
I guess I better go,
I could save myself a lot of useless
tears,
Girl, I gotta get away from here.
Oh girl,
pain
will double if you leave me now,
'cause I don't know where to look
for love,
and I don't, I don't know how.
Oh yeah,
Oh
girl,
Why do I love you so?
Better be on my way,
I can't
stay here.
Have you ever seen such a helpless man?
