Martian Trinkets
by Johnny CrimsonManaged to sleep through the regime change
painted stars, a new flag
and white rain.
Met a mime down at the theme park
tucked his act into a soap box
Never seen a scene disappear that way
a short glimpse of the apollo astroplane.
Selling seasons down at the seashore
a mangled month, chain links
and creamed moors.
Then the sun met up with venus
said the sea was destined for cleanliness.
A shy clown shakes off his make-up
a new day, a faint sign to wake up.
Tapped my veins and sat at the theme park.
Rest my brains and sleep at the theme park.

When a whole nation is roaring Patriotism at the top of its voice, I am fain to explore the cleanness of its hands and purity of its heart. |

and this came from a word study concentrating on this page:
http:dictionary.reference.com/browser/cleanness
"Clean" to me, is a very interesting word, but then, I admit, I am weird.

tucked his act into a soap box
Never seen a scene disappear that way
a short glimpse of the apollo astroplane. |
