She did Maximize:
the gladiator, that is,
who had changed his name.
who had changed his name
to “the-artist-formerly-known-
as-Prince.” It’s too long.
“As Prince, it’s too long,”
the royal fellow told me,
“but not for Princess.”
But not for princesses
Sleeping on their matresses
I’d have no mashed peas
I’d have no mashed peas.
But all we are saying is
Give mashed peas a chance.
Give mashed peas a chance –
Or, if in Massachusetts,
Give Mashpee a chance.
Give Mashpee a chance?
I don’t know, I want romance;
I’ll ask her to dance.
I’ll ask her to dance
she has the moves, I’ll tell you
mighty fine to see
Mighty fine to see
All you nice folks here today
Now hand me your cash!
Now hand me your cash!
Pay-before-play, big fella.

who told her, “Um… no.”?

wasn’t the milkman.
Wasn’t the milkman
the jerk who kicked my doggy?
So I gave him syph *
*There’s an old joke there. If you need to hear it, let me know.
So I gave him syph.*
And it affected his lungs.
Now he’s breathing hard.
*I know the old joke. And that haiku damn near wrote itself in about five secondsf.
Now he’s breathing hard
After running – still, better
Than hardly breathing
Than hardly breathing,
I choose gasping after the
old in-out, in-out.
old in-out, in-out
Can’t keep current with fashion
Got bell-bottom blues
Got bell-bottom blues
me and all of my droogies
disco at milk bar
Disco at milk bar?!?
You’re crazy, I need serious
booze to boogie down.
Booze to Boogie Town
Tea to Totaller Town, don’t
Mess up this order
