The Squirming Coil of sunset |
|
I keep within my reach |
|
Tried yesterday to get away |
|
and hitchhiked to the beach |
|
I saw Satan on the beach |
|
trying to catch a ray |
|
He wasn't quite the speed of light |
|
and the squirming coil |
|
it got away.... |
|
The muscles flex the mother's ring |
|
She fastens children to her king |
|
and sends him down the crooked street |
|
When he returns, the birth's complete |
|
Jimmy holds the Tannis root |
|
The forest's tasty nectar shoot |
|
The sun tips off the monarch's suit |
|
from sequined sash to shiny boot |
|
"I'd like to lick the coil some day |
|
Like Icarus, who had to pay |
|
with melting wax and feathers brown |
|
He tasted it on his way down" |
|
Stun the puppy! |
|
Burn the whale! |
|
Bark a scruff and go to jail! |
|
Forge the coin and lick the stamp! |
|
Little Jimmy's off to camp |
