First Pig
My GI tract burns at both ends;
to eat it all was
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--
I so love that spicy food!
Second Pig
Safe upon the solid rock the fugly mansions teeter,
Come and see my shining
Larry
We were very tired, we were very hairy--
We had gone back and forth all night along with Larry.
We were bare and bright, and smelled like dogs
As we looked into a fire, and ate like hogs,
We necked on a hill-top falling asleep in a swoon;
And the whistles kept blowing, in the blue lagoon.
We were very tired, we were very wary--
We had gone back and forth with some dude named Larry;
And you drank a snapple, and I ate a pear,
Bought from a grocery we had found somewhere,
And the sky went on, and the wind got wet,
And the sun rose vaguely in a bucketful of sweat.
We were very tired, we were very drunk,
We had gone back and forth with Larry in a funk:
We hailed, "Good morrow, mother!" and scribbled some screed,
And bought a foreign paper, which neither of us could read;
And she wept, "God bless you!" for the Snapples and pears,
And we had to give her all our money, plus our subway fares.
Thursday
And if I laid you Wednesday,
Well, what is that to you?
I did not lay you Thursday--
So much is true.
And why you come complaining
Is more than I can see.
I laid you Wednesday so send the bill to me.
To the Most Impossible Whim
How shall I know, unless I go
To Cairo or Toledo
Whether or not this blessed ship
Will be hit by a
Now it may be, the Romans in me
will squish between my toes;
but how shall I tell, unless I kill
The Carthaginian
The fabric of my faithful basketball
No power shall dim or ravel
Whilst I dribble here,--but oh, my dear,
If I should ever
