with my monobrow spinning,  
rappin is like winning,  
seeing third eye winking,  
stinking. career sinking,

and pass the govment cheese please.

I steal your orchids and park in your yard,  
going like superman extra wide and extra hard,  
finally make a buck getting a lolli suck,  
from the dope fly nuns at galaxy  
mile a minute speaking creaking like davey jones,  
in his locker baby, don’t you think maybe  
we can do the real dance and my pants,  
are big enough for both of us.

“and my pants,

Hmmmm…all the physical and methaphorical levels this phrase transcends and the intriguing metaphysical implications.

Wow! Thanks muchly generous wordsmith. You’re the bomb! There was so much to it but this golden phrase will resonate forever in the pantheon of prose.

“methaphorical”  
Philosophers on crank  
that’s so stank

``It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the smoking crank that thoughts acquire speed, the lungs acquire scars, the scars become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.’’

quick note from me. These are all read out loud for the best effect. There are no spelling errors, just creative spelling for dramatic effect.

Porter:  
Congradulations and fornications,  
Once again we meet,  
Sex is great in any style,  
but anal has it beat

Langly:  
Grades are for the lily-lomps,  
and lily lomps aren’t gay,  
you my friend are flaming  
as a hot Atlanta day.

Nar.  
Porter shook his cane at him,  
he shook it very hard,  
The whiner’s going out for drinks  
to the local bar

Porter:  
I wish to set the record straight,  
No pun intended here  
At the local bar we’ll drink  
Much more than simple beer  
Jesus he will love me so,  
but I cannot love him back,  
for though I am a top,  
his turds I can not pack.  
A ruptured spleen will vex me some,  
A ruptured colon not,  
For I have seen the light my son,  
Take that you dirty sot.

Nar.  
Dysentery isn’t scary  
If you have the pills  
Shove em up your ass he said  
Helps prevent the spills

Rep daint along the walls,  
And daint along the floors,  
With northen pointing feelers,  
She opened up the doors.  
In case of glass emergencies,  
Break the plastic coat,  
Grab hold of beak quite firmly,  
And titillate the Goat.  
All your base are bologna to us,  
And your proscuto’s weak,  
My wookie could handily stand on top,  
and then he’d make it squeak.  
An Idiosyncrasy of life  
is what you wouldn’t buy,  
bread made from mashed roaches,  
and rotgut n rye  
This explains what you must do,  
This explains it well,  
Follow these instructions,  
And your life will turn out well.

Those Czech chicks are cheeky,  
those slovaks aren’t slaves  
Czechoslovakia was meeky,  
now it’s full of son braves.

Capybara butt meat  
is tasty and sweet,  
solitude ain’t solace  
for what you can’t eat,  
I see there aren’t many alpacas  
here in this room,  
if they were llamas,  
I’d take to them with a broom.

Is it just me?  
Of course it is,  
I once worked with an Arab,  
his name was once Biz.

Ivy grows faster,  
than Tilla ma hooks,  
I’m feeling tired,  
gonna hit the books.

Sorry that was so rambling chique, I haven’t had my morning coffee yet. 😛

apologies to the Go-Nuts

The keys of lime were doing the duty,  
I sawed off my shogun for today,  
What performanced my eye on sails of beauty,  
they weren’t forthcoming with whey.

Communism would have no peace with cheddar,  
no velveeta for vietnam,  
they claim that soy is so much be better,  
we know they are very wrong.

The Japanese call me Scratchiemon  
I am not but pokemon to them,  
my mommy calls me puddin hon,  
and makes me clutch her hem

Koreans take our Cream Cheese,  
Gouda goes to guam,  
Give up that awful kim chee,  
You won’t be an uncle tom.

{this was performed in a bikini made from swiss cheese.}

Scansion this, butchie!

My words ring true unrefined.  
fineries oft and seeked.  
phugoid waves of gamma rained.  
and dwelled, wherein they peaked.

A structuralist of naturalists,  
he thought she was the best,  
U.M., I was, they will not be,  
a locale infested nest.

My drink? A Constantinopolitan.  
A cocksure cocktail? pass…  
vermouth, vodka, and curacao,  
shaken well, and porn a glass.
