Mad Cow et al
by Linda FullerMad Cow et al
I’m chewin crazy cud
smokin high on the bud
this cow is mad, man
one het-up heifer, baby
it’s goin around, sister
cat’s got it for sure
rabbit’s rabid, dog’s dazed
toad’s horny and the beetle goes on
ram pages through Victoria’s Sheep Creche
ewe flip through Ramses sheepskins
Art lovers
Artie’s choking mama in the dinghy
she’s frenzied, foamin
“sit on my facebook!
friend me, friend me!”
When the shit hits the fandango
Maizie topes and topples
keeps paraquats in a cage au fowls
“come quats, sit on my fingers
you little turds”
upset, they set up shop
in the ceiling fan
pirouette, defecate, defenestrate
Dorothy goes to the circus
it’s a thrill an hour on the tilt-a-whirl
doot doot doodle oodle
two-bit roustabout touts
toothy grins take us in
step right up, see the two-headed
coin toss, win gold
fish the deeps, haul up
exploding monsters, Dot
com one com all
******************************
oh, I’m agitated, detergenated
no dryer sheet can tame me
no taxonomist can name me
no torch singer can flame me
don’t blame me
I’m just a bobble head on your dash

| Posted by Jo Halliday on 08/25/10 at 03:37 AM What a mad, delightful poem! Your satire is so not bitter as there is so much joy, and so much dance going on, that even the worst of life is put into shade and perspective easily by all the bright. |
