that's what parents traditionally want

I envision the phrase dropping into Doc's consciousness,
first he appreciates the double entendre,
then he realizes that like one of those pictures
of the lamp and the lady,
you can foreground one meaning or the other,
if you're still playing, yeah, get a lot of that,
if you're ready to settle down, buy a lot somewheres...
the ancestral message, while you're still young,
reminds him the clock is ticking,
and his parents basically have despaired of
imparting that wisdom (they don't harass him at all,
by my standards, just hang out) so it falls to Aunt Reet who is
busy with her eyeliner to pester him just a bit,
and it also might be a sale for her...
I dunno, all that experimental and philosophical
stuff is probably in there, but I'm likin' it as a story.  About people.
