Vodka Sunrise #364 - 7,633

Turkey, chicken – you coil

            Into your weaknesses,

                        The law is a handbag

                        Full of lit dynamite

                        (And the rain

                        is gasoline).

 

Is freedom unbreakable?

Is freedom a firework?

            Sparks here and there

            But most of the time trapped

            In a little container?

                        Until someone lights your fuse

                                    And you fly high –

                                                Only to eventually

                                                            Explode.

 

Thanks for calling.

 

Lonely Jones invented three sisters,

(They ARE witches)

            Martha is known as “bungle foot”

            And likes to eat hay.

                        (Sorry for crushing you!)

            Toola is referred to as “Martha”,

            Though this confuses many of the local theorymakers.

            Jesus is a turtle,

            So people purposely call him “Leonardo”.

                        Turtle has killed seven people so far

                        With his kitanas.

                                    (It’s not the cartoon, people!)

 

Honestly, the courtyard is shit.  I don’t

Know why I thought that

You would

Even watch a movie

With me.

            Smiley, dreamy thoughts,

            I guess.

                        Anytime you think you’re doing good

                        WATCH OUT –

                        Someone or thing is probably

                        Behind you

                        With a bucket of poison

                        Ready to be poured

                        On your head.

                                    And when it burns,

                                    Supposedly your face feels

                                    Like a forest –

                                    All green and dark and

                                    Full of fun for the

                                    Whole family!

 

That man shouldn't be here!

No!
