Froggy Kiss

“Truth isn’t truth,” that’s what some Cap’n Obvious toady recently said He was pissy mad, when his angry tears wet the bed Lieutenant Rudy Brown-Nose a has-been sniffing the swine caboose breeze: Loco breath wafting between sulfuric methane, prune puckered lips — sphincter pie holes half-closed Politrician power tools pocket plugged into their patsy roles, says with dark chaos authority: Everything is under control Public trust pirates, dressed in populist parrot disguise, love $inging tavern song$ Foaming out the frothy, dark-amber lager lies Iscariot getaway chariots be karaoke squealing yellow snow — highway robbery melodies Money green dollar rain golden showers On silver cloud vapor piles, sticky six-finger flies be spitting out buzz-kill dung beetle cries Butt of the jokes be the wench reward for the stumbling, power-drunk whores Wet froggy kisses scraping the sky for a few rubles more $ee the neon $ign $potlight in the $ky, it’s showing some Two-Face, penny-wise liar (Riddling?) Ritalin up the final justice score Bat-crazy, Commish slum lord got the Lewd tenant boot-licking filthy lucre crumbs on the floor Dog whistles got the railroad cage bent ... Wall Street woofers on a barf paid, carny bark yell Every foul commodity bowel movement do slug leave a regurgitated profit stench vomit trail While the vote suckers are on the slow buy, their Good Ship Lollipop is on a quick sell “Truth isn’t truth,” is what some Cap’n Crunch croaker just said That’s a mouth full of self-serving, apron purse ties Sweet Georgia boo pecan pie is tasty cow pucky lies Go on ... take another covetous slice, and a couple more burglar bites Wet froggy kisses scraping the sea below for a few dollars mo’ Spitballing Prince of Tides love muddying the waters so Sold old truths as new lies “Truth is truth,” ain’t what some Cap’n Ahab toady just white lie wail said It crocodile aqua lava seems the Cap’n Nemo Lying King is gonna sleep well tonight, on your hot Pompeii water bed

Maybe the froggy needs to kiss them a bit harder, Freddie. No. It still would not stop them. What a sweet write. You never disappoint.
