And this year its the Great Movie Cowboy in the cockpit
And next year its the great Bush pilot
And now its the Chameleon Kid
and he keeps changing the logo on his captains cap
and now its a donkey and now an elephant

Say she is five seven-and-a-half.
Say her hair is stick color.

Like a chameleon he hid himself among the trees

The next day he himself called out:
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair,

with muscles on his arms
like a bag of snakes?
What is this moss on his legs?
What prickly plant grows on his...Read more of this...
