Moo!
I am a cow.
I see the distant hills.
They are green and lush with grass.
I wish to graze upon them.
But I cannot.
Damn the electric fence!
Damn the electric fence!
(orig. Gary Larson, “Far Side”)
I look at the wall.
It is old, cracked, worn
But yet it stands strong
And I wonder
Is the wall my soul?
Or is my soul the wall’s?
I wash his poo pants
While he stands around and rants
Living with an artist is aesthetic bliss
But mama never told me there’d be days like this
POO PANTS!!
Hangin’ off his bottom
Oh, oh, oh poo pants
I’m so glad he’s got 'em
Somehow they’re endearing to me
I wash his poo pants
While he plays Sally Can’t Dance
But as he guzzles malt liquor and scoffs
For five days he doesn’t take em off
He’s a genius in the throes of ascension
But I move in another dimension
(Lester Bangs wrote that! I’m not kidding! There’s no indication that it was meant as a joke, either! Yikes!)
Roses be red
Violence be bloody
Littleton kid went killin’ with his buddy UNA-BOMBER!! OKLAHOMA!!
FIRE DOWN DA HO!!
SHARKS IN THE GENE POOL SOUTH OF KOSOVO
Everyone’s packin’
So I’ll pack my nickel bag
Gonna get my peace on and offer yas a drag.
Peace Out.
(P.S. I once read the one from my last post at an art festival. On stage. With a friend playing bongos. I finished by yelling “Nuke The Whales!! Thank you!!” The crowd loved it :D)
