Pancake Gorilla Onion

Pancake Gorilla Onion 

It is obvious, the connection
Pancake, gorilla, onion
Walking down the street of all conclusions
Closed in on all sides by saffron meadows 
On all fours if you like
Reached before the end
Hidden below the surface
All words emerge sooner or later
What's next on the agenda
Do you expect us to believe
Troglodyte, ash tray, light bulb
Don't say I didn't warn you
Is ash tray even a word
Bless me with the metal aspergillum
Holly water thirsty first
How ridiculous that sounds
Pancake gorilla onion 
Will have the final word


*Authors note:  aspergillum is a real word.  You have to dig a little bit to find it.  It is a religious metal device or object used to sprinkle holy water at religious ceremonies.

Hi Jan, Thanks for commenting on my.....well... whatever it is... Words have meaning... or so they tell me. I'm challenging that hypothesis. "griller" Now that is funny. Also; I'm seeing dots before my eyes. Have a nice evening. Take care. Earl
