Song for Ferguson

“You just revealed a side of yourself I didn’t know you had.”

“Which side would that be?”

“The delusional.”

“My bad. Should I hum ‘The Missouri Waltz’ on my way out?”

“To prove or to disprove?”

“Neither. Just to do it.”

“Don’t hum. Whistle.”

“I’ll hum.”

He hums. Nobody laughs or tries to sing along.
