The Thinker has escaped Put the nation on alert ‘cuz we know what freethinking does Women and children may get hurt  An age progression of Macaulay Culkin Had these words to say “If the Thinker is loose, we’re all cooked goose" then he Screamed all night and day  the Leaning Tower of Pisa just couldn’t help but hear leaning in on what’s been said although he had no ears  Whitman Blake and Tennyson Caught word of where he’d been The Thinker on his escapades Through modern minded men Kafka housed the thinker once And cummings lied for him Hughes had taught him all his blues the Thinker was good to them Baraka sent him on the train The underground express I heard he found good Tennessee Was wearing Blanche’s dress The Thinker shed his bronze encasing On Spielberg’s shiny toys Shot some art on fiber cable For little girls and boys  Inside the Thinker was Little Mac From Mike Tyson Punch Out fame he'd been tryin' so hard just to break out and I hope you'll do the same  [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (06-12-2002 06:15 PM).] |
