Tulips

Tiny Tim Was The Real Deal

By: Charles Giuliano - Feb 17, 2015

Tulips

Dressing room
Playboy Club
Boston
Long gone
Bunnies with cotton tails
Shooting pool
With ersatz whales
Look but don't touch
No dating
Absurd falsetto
Strumming ukulele
Tiptoe Through the Tulips
Deranged campy fun
My date snickering
Brink of cracking up
Miss Vicki
Married her on the Tonight Show
Pained askance glances
Opportunist's expression
Talking about sources
Vintage vaudeville tunes
Enthusiasm for old 78's
Oh Mr. Giuliano he gushed
Over the top enthusiasm
I just love those records
Push the labels
Up to my face
Smell them
Deep lingering inhale
Look of euphoria
Shelia lost it
Doubled over laughing
Sunday Herald feature
Aunt Catherine
Huge fan
Every family dinner
Tell me about
Tiny Tim
Pushing up
Daisies
