Has seen something strange Pasta twirling and spinning, peas do vertical jumps mashed potatoes swimming. meat doing bench press and pumps. Food has begun to exercise but its not in any gym. My brother said its happening right inside of him. Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Lines In a new notebook Run, even and fine, Like telephone wires Across a snowy landscape. With wet, black strokes The alphabet settles between them, Comfortable as a flock of crows. Rain patters and splatters Drops, plops on windscreen Meditative silence shatters Fresh gust wakes from daydream. She told me to clean my room a million times! Oh the lurpp in on the loose, the loose The lurpp in on the loose, It caused a fretful, frightful fuss When it swallowed a ship, and ate a bus And now its after all of us, Oh the lurpp is on the loose. There was an Old Man of the West, Who wore a pale plum-colored vest; When they said, 'Does it fit?' He replied, 'Not a bit!' That uneasy Old Man of the West.
