_____________________________________________

It came to me one day in Jerksville
Man, I was right on the edge
That jacket’s too small for a man of your size
And those socks are too big for your head

My eyes glaze at whatever you say,
But I’m listening, do tell me more,
It goes under the bridge, right over my head
And out through my portable door

I was trapped in a dire situation
Between reason and someone-in-law
The winner takes all and runs off with the ball
Nothing could pleasure me more

Times were, I’d have spoken my piece
For a minute or two held the floor
But I can’t get a word in so here I am hurtling
Right out through my portable door

The jabbering’s hurting my brain cell so bad
For once in my life I am bored
The public house beckons, I follow the call
And slip in through my portable door

The unlikely event came upon me
I wasn’t prepared for the shock
Once round my neck and twice round the deck
And the rest disappeared up the block

So here we are and everything’s changed
Faster than ever before
You gotta be jokin’, man what are you smoking
Blow it out through my portable door

Doug's subconscious has been waiting for this one for a while -- it works just like you'd expect in a cartoon, creating a physical door that he can place up against a flat surface and open to whatever is on the other side. By default, pressure differentials and dangerous levels of heat/light/etc. do not propagate through the door, though Doug can disable this protection if he wants. The exact form is also variable to suit his whims and the surroundings, but by default it's a heavy, four-paneled wooden one with an old fashioned knob and iconic peek-through-the-keyhole type lock. (He can also manifest a suitable key while the song is active, which might have other applications if he needs a key for something that the door itself isn't suited to bypass with a bit of creativity and experimentation.) While open, the door frame is immobile relative to the surface it was placed against. Closed, he can remove it from either side without needing to end the song, or pick it up, change it if desired, and place it against another surface to open it again.

He doesn't remember what he saw the one time he tried opening the door while it was free standing in the open, but has the distinct impression that it was a bad idea and he should never, ever do that again.
