My Name is Stoofy Lou

With a name like this
why should it make sense...

A hunger turkey left the coop
on a late Sunday afternoon
when it became athirst,
so it stuck its face up high
and drowned itself in rain water
and Jewish Rye.

Man not man,
ape, Cro-Magnon,
I’m talkin’ Australopithecus!
He walked "Sex in the City" into boutique
to get some Jimmy Choos and
something chic.

Lady of my heart,
loves a long lovely.
Dressed in a delicious
champagne dress.
Too much overdose of pantyhose
and she’d step on my liver
and baptize me sinner
but that's the plan.

I woke up boxing with both arms broken.
A paraplegic bumping
my opponent to death.
Not the butt bump
Saturday Night Fever;
but the death rattle
like Tuesday morning flu.

Full upper body cast
straight out of traction,
still feeling the cereal’s
snap, crackle and pop.

Howard Dean,
please don’t eat my cousin.

Making sense is for the people
with loose change.

I'm not smart, I'm just a tricky dumb person.

I am not too sure I was supposed to laugh after reading this..it's very unusual when I actually do understand a poem

Well, I was laughing when I wrote it so, you be the judge.
