Supremacist PTSD
Captain America's ship of state
was hijacked for an apartheid fate
all because of trauma
from the young Obama
and the love in 2000 and 8

Evolutions
In a butcher and clockmaker tryst
their scion anon gave skills a twist
when gears put together
in slaughterhouse weather
made her a meaty-horologist.

No Puking Please
When the carnival comes to town
Cotton candy, makeup for the clowns
Don’t eat before a ride
Puking, people should hide
Always drink plenty of water.
Cotton candy, makeup for the clowns
Don’t eat before a ride
Puking, people should hide
Always drink plenty of water.

A Not So Pleasant Experience
When a carnival comes to town
Cotton candy, makeup for the clowns
Don’t eat before a ride
Puking, people should hide
Always drink plenty of water.

Her Name Happens To Be Lucy Figg
Her name happens to be Lucy Figg
who hopes to land a job in some big
time company somewhere
but they all would not care
because who wants to hire this one pig.

Dry straw piled high
On a horse-drawn wagon
The mare was asleep
Dreaming of clover

Placebo affected
If I conversate, then I talk too much
Feelings I'll throw up if I dont speak up
A flaw in this mind soup dispenser
By broke spout, my thought's surrender
Feelings I'll throw up if I dont speak up
A flaw in this mind soup dispenser
By broke spout, my thought's surrender

Bullimerick
There once was a bull named Mary
He liked his heifers hairy
But all their teats
Were shaved and neat
Which made him rather wary
He liked his heifers hairy
But all their teats
Were shaved and neat
Which made him rather wary

Inventing the limerick
There once was a poet named Lear
that's Edward to make it quite clear
invented a style
a comical file
now so admired and revered

the young man from Berlin
There was a young man from Berlin
who boxed with a fighter named JIM
received a cut eye
gave a mighty shy
and KOed the ref on the chin

There was a young man from Seville (Limerick)
There was a young man from Seville
who swallowed some bright orange peel
his tummy it swelled
the toilet it held
his stool, was a marmalade thrill

There once was a nazi Ernst Rohm
Who conducted his evils with aplomb
The fact he was gay
Held very little sway
As his man-dates went down like a bomb
