In a beautiful springtime cocklight
I woke up into a sweet daydream
Damsel of God dancing in delight
Staging her grace, an elegant theme.
I was called to hug her in love
And showered with her aspergillum
Then a soft breeze to give a shove
Urging me to dance with the rhythm.
In a gasconade greenish dress
Painted in flowers and flying birds
Her ups and downs are in depress
She a beauty, waiting to embrace.
Out of the blue, woke from my dream
I saw my sweetheart sprawling naked
Her dress was torn and stolen in a gleam
By a group of lusty crooked.
They cut her ornaments – trees and meadows
Her flowers vanished and so the birds
She laid as a desert weeping endless
Her tears dried up and so the lakes
Fallen on knees I cried with her
Nature and me, ready to revive
A piece of cloth gone from the attire
To be returned, for us to survive.

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.
