Hippity-Hop by Ken HarnischA splurge, and a dirge
Who knows what will emerge
When you try to write it down
Or maybe even fight it down
Compression, repression
Maybe a depression
A liar inspires
Starts poetic fires
Burning the night oil
Feeling your blood boil
Watching the words form
Keeping your hate warm
Letting all invective
Be less than selective
Who cares if its defective
Its reeling, a feeling
To you it is appealing
To slay the wandering lover
Til you discover, uncover
The thing that made him rotten
Is something youve forgotten
But he keeps it flaming
Blaming, the same thing
You had done to you
You were doing too
til he caught you, honeydew.
So heres the skinny, grab it
Now that youre a rabbit
Getting in the habit
Hippity-hop, baby.
Hippity-hop
