and then there was the time in Pawtucket
Ed started yellin' for Betty
to get some water boiling
coz this might take a while
and he may as well have a nice cup of Earl Grey
while he was at it.
so Duggy brought him the rubber gloves,
the flashlight and the pliers -
and a crowd gathered
though it was hard to tell coz of all the flies.
N nobody could tell whether
that was a typo on line three
or whether Peter really meant to put a "K" there.
but we don't worry too much about the knits ...
we just leave 'em to pick theyselves.
N yall what be readin' this
i hope yall is havin' a good time
coz this train ain't got no destination;
lest it be the end of the line.
which may be encountered as a double entendre;
but then those who read between the lines
|
|
usually get two or three or more out of a double.
N it's not unheard of to see Bailiff Rufus
down on his knees scratchin' the linoleum
with his pocket knife tryin'
to get the mustard stains up.
so keeping up with the Jones's is OK;
but maybe you already got a bonafide jones
and it don't got nothin' to do with the neighbors.
well, how you gonna keep 'em down on the farm
once they've seen the big city.
N i'm not talking about being under the influence;
or under the legal age to be under the influence ...
or being influenced by a confluence
of evidentiary statements
appended to chaotic ontological ricochets.
so drop yer pretentions
and start grinnin'
coz it's time.
