Intemallectualism

 

To be cynical of cynicism

Like a bad syllogism

Encumbered by my intellectualism

I can’t make it to the store

 

I sit all day and waste away

While the cat laughs at my nihilism

I count the hours like dying flowers

And I’m too fat to fit through the door

Me gusta el español

La lengua es el mejor

Cuando yo traduzco

“Puerta” significa “door.”

I’m like a red eyed dragon when I don’t brush my teeth

I’m like a 12 year old boy when I hear the word “queef”

And when I’m runnin’ down a honey in my best threads

I might be drunk but who said I’m cheap?

 

I’m more sincere than Nassir Hussein

More righteously in tune than a Prince refrain

So if you got a problem I might be to blame

But all this doesn’t mean I’m the least bit tame

 

Now I’m using words like an alphabet collage

I’ll only take my oeuf scrambled with some fromage

Never taste the tea if it’s three days old

Rolling off my tongue like a sandwich barrage

 

***

 

Two wonderful games this afternoon

Brings tears to my eyes

While I snack on my fries
