No Friends of Mime



Farcical characters of ill gestures,
they be no friends of mime

Mute clown suits
wearing viol marionette smiles
all of the puppet string time

I tell you, of a silent truth,
those pretzel-tongue jester troupes
are theatrical buffoons 
spoofing on a global would trivial comedy stage 

These ol' pantomime hucksters,
dipstick lip syncing on babble timer delay rage — 
Crying out loud, 
them cold quip cheeky blusters
never were any spoken for friends of mine

Just some dumb glow, dim enemies ... 
who always pearly grinned a dumber shine
