Ear Wax Art- the Continuing Saga of the Great Belly Button Lint Dust Fire of 93'

I've been collecting ear wax Since the belly button lint dust fire went bad I lost all my dignity in that fiasco So ear wax is all that I have left Believe you me, it's not easy Coming up with another scheme After burning the whole town down to the ground To get a single soul to look or even listen to me But that fateful day that I dug deep And pulled a replica of the Eiffel Tower out of my ear I knew that fame and fortune lay before me My time had arrived, my time was here Who should I call first over my artful discovery The Post? The Enquirer? The Times? No I would call The Museum Of Modern Art in NYC For the Art World would soon be mine I knew I had to ratchet it up a notch One piece of ear wax art might be a fluke So I got out my brush...the Q-tip And removed a portrait of John Wayne AKA The Duke Since I live in a hippie commune in the woods Little furry creatures would always stop by To gaze upon the artful process Squirrels can be the best of critics...no lie! Which gave me the idea with all the left over ear wax I sculptured a mini-amusement park with mini-arcades And charged the woodland creatures nuts and berries Which helped feed the hippies with whom I stay It wasn't long after that I received the letter Stating that art had a need for me I've become known as The Andy Warhol of The Art World With abstract ear wax being my specialty Now I go to all the major "Who Does" Where everybody knows my name As I create masterpieces right before their eyes Just don't hold it to close to the flame Who would have ever thought that ear wax Would be the perfect medium To jet propel this Simpleton To Art World stardom and beyond
