THREE HAIKU VS. THE PET GILA MONSTER (a song cycle)
lyrics
Winter was a-comin' down
Everybody went nuts
Nobody saved nuts
Everybody went cuckoo
Everybody sang cuckoo
Everybody drank, got frank
Nonsenss and merry made
Full of grapes
Spiked yet so mild
Everybody sang and never brought to mind
Forgot to remember their history
Or was it biology?
Begat me, begat me not
And they forgot thee,
Old ruse again
And their tongues clove
And their cinnamon stuck
And they sat down by the whore of Babylon
And they cried
Woe woe woe
Whoa yeah
