Deer Ruby
Deer Ruby,
Daddy doubtful hardly Dorothy know you ...
it’s the bare bones, Toto truth
Variety gossip on the street
by parrot beaks chirping canary peeps
Said your mother had a one-night-stand revue;
a private audience of one, burlesque interview
Receptionist Rita
wardrobe malfunction rumor denied:
Saying it show was a casting couch,
fertility snafu tell
A mistaken DNA identity test tube fail,
surrogate voices seeking financial bail
Deer Ruby
I’m paternity suit warning you,
don’t go try to sell
this sperm whale of a tale
to the tabloid press
Or you’ll be SUV standing in the crosshair road
of my ambitious career progress
Don’t do a Big Poppa no no
Deer Ruby
Daughter maybe,
you might become a Jane Doe
Roadkill statistical ... accidental tourist tagged toe
On the way blind date
to the doctored Dub Helix party,
DOA fashionably late
Deer Ruby
Coroner foul play fate awaits
To be black ice bait
is a slippery curve, swerve shame
Father Time
told me to double indemnity clause
policy tell you:
Have a nice afterlife!
Daddy questionable
gives his best dirt wishes with closed coffin kisses
So take a momentary morgue pause,
and for insurance fraud sake —
Think twice about it ... Don’t get cash hash-tagged,
urn brownie baked
Deer Ruby
If you’re truly hip to the big con,
the real money underbelly action
Gender labels don’t matter none
for a mirror image son-of-a-gun
Deer Ruby
Just between you $ and $ me, hon ...
my probable, umbilical oven bun
I give a wink-and-nod confession —
I do hope you’re my wiseguy son!
