Viva Catalonia

his heraldic crest 
a donger and yarbles rampant 
upon a field of clover
it was a stone slab of course
donated by a few eggheads in exile
his best friends were his orgasms
shall we redefine the human condition
my guru continued you are tied to your weenie
with many rivers to cross it's all a river
float like a butterfly etc.
his heels had wings goat wings
danced on their way to work
there's an idea lurking in here somewhere
from the lurking transcendental government 
standing guard between the seen and the unseen
try not to bleed so much boys digitize instead
this is a novelty sing along tune
warbled by two adolescent chimps
nearly inaudible and the crowd
groaned at the strain
booed uncompromisingly off stage
calling taxi taxi taxi in the rain
played all the frequencies at once
could have led to open rebellion
but instead was hailed a master of definitions
make of it what you wish
there was nothing left to do 
but go bowling on rockabilly night
while madmen comics kept us ROTFLMAO
with astounding feather and glue tricks
so that his work could have
an interplanetary dimension
utterly without consequence
like quacking at the stock exchange
nonetheless many saw stars and flying saucers
for maybe ten minutes
the whore press wouldn't touch it
and retired from the drapery business
it's up to us to steer this sucker
down the Grapevine and find parking
where our epic turns right on Main St.
BBQ skewers swished in the starlight
yes he was a romantic and a romanticist
Pushing the Topic up Through the Earth
was the pamphlet's title
where this goes on the graph
is anyone's guess
take it line by line
of course it was more fun
not being a target
I am but an orphan foundling sir
and that ended that
