I'm just full of curiosity You know the kind killed the kitty Why is the sky blue and not pure gold? As are the heavens as we're told To Golden Arches for my burger To Whataburger for my fries Then Sonic for a slushy drink And Wendy's frosty Biggie sized Why isn't fast food fast anymore? Why can't I count all my chickens? Why can't I use a nuke as parachute? And go out loudly like Slim Pickens Why can't I learn to love the bomb? When my poems bomb I do not cry If I find a needle in a haystack Why must I still have to thread the eye? Why is crochet just for women? Why is the presidency for men? Might we see wicked stitchery And our dollars become a yen ? If you thought I was just kidding The curious cat I have no pity She drank from the mysterious puddle Now she's one anti-brain-freezed-kitty in a canyon in a cavern excavatin for a mine dwelt a miner forty niner and his daughter clemintine!!! yeehaw! |

This slightly off-kilter view of all things fast-slow and switched on-off is amazing. What an eye! Keep scanning. Can't wait to get the next version of life in the stilted lane. |
