Hieroglyphs

Franny & Angie

          went out walking
                   after midnight

In the light
          of some Silvery Moon
and
       Unbenounced to them,
     they trod under such
                      nippy
                      a Skye
that before them
Sat 3 characters:
 
         Eagle         Owl           Eye

Together the danced, popped & pervaded
          gobbled eggs & toasted
          champagne belated
for you know
          Once these characters three

         Eagle       Owl       &  
I went South    -     free

One might question under which
        Virtual Authority
                      was He.  (?)

who allowed them
     black furry hats
     and a band 
     that could scat
who allowed a warbling, bumbling,
      stumbling mosh
      Guinness  Martinis
and toilets
           that wouldn't flush,
who allowed
          endless irrevocable banter
          and wordless stuttering saints,
who allowed Christmas
          but could not accept
          Baby New Years' date,
who allowed them
          to trip
                the lights fantastic
when
                (oh Brother!)
He could be
                so spastic
                sarcastic & plastic.
Surgery to improve
                the overall 
                        dressing of the mood
and if not for ketchup,
     fries and Yagr
the Moon might have fallen
     much sooner
              than later,

and now dark....
              blown way with
              lambswoolsnow

Eagle      Owl        I
             am quite curious to know

Franny & Angie
            in the light of the
            Silvery Moon
                  not at Midnight

                  but at Noon

                                                           M.      A.       R.
                                                     eagle   owl    eye

                                                                               1 - 5 - 99
