MOLESKINE:
Actual lyrics from a song we heard as we listened to Tyler Childers’s new album.

Koala bears get livid when they don’t get eucalyptus
Most of ’em carry syphilis
Or chlamydia what’s the difference
All I know is I don’t want no koala cuddlin’ up to me
I can see it fine from here it is a pretty cute koala
