You waited in line
Cause your we're
Next
That's an idea
l situation I am told
What shiney ain't
For me me
Cause I am dull
And spent
Excuse me Sir
Is that gold
I reckon I 'll
Just mossey
Along quote'en
Them words to
That cuss word song
By the way
All that glitter ain't gold
What want from me
Cause he so po'
Get his checks from
His chore
That ain't no money
That's tween me and you
Talking rich and acting poor
Got your Gal out acting like-ah
Whore: talking bout
place we go knee high I q!
Ya'll know the sequence y'all
Meet her in spring
She pregnant in fall
Pappie someone's else's
Niegh I go I ate ooh ooh!
That's how it is
Ain't nothings changed
Oh the ancient
Still arrange
Talking in tongues when
Sunday morning comes
Freaking fellas
By the time the service
Is through
Snitching in like gals
Current and future bride
Tryna make everyone say
Quasi motto neigh IQ
I am not Jessica Rabbit,
nor as erasable as a cartoon
We all wash out, eventually
My heroes loving villains
We all wash out
eventually
my intoxicating
blurred fantasy
My cartoon beings surround me every day
Seventy-two canvases in the living room, all my way
In neon colors – pink, orange, red, yellow and green
Ten reside in flower gardens, most easily seen
Dragons, faeries, and owls, a silver cartoon tree
Mushroom houses, daisies and elves all made by me
When I started painting, I did not envision this
Frogs, aliens and a golden sasquatch blowing me a kiss
Razzle dazzle you silly climate man,
You have lost your reputation,
You sided with an alien clan,
Who dangled a temptation.
The alien planet lies in a galaxy far away,
It kept appearing night and day,
In a slimy, persuasive, evil way,
Razzle dazzle, one day you will pay.
But what did they tempt him with,
This of course is just a myth,
That he would be king of trillions
Of galaxies, not only millions.
Your attitude seems to want to stay,
But we don’t want that, so we pray,
Don’t cry crocodile tears now,
The damage is showing, 45 degrees wow.
Hey Mr. Climate pirate, we are frying,
People, animals and plants are dying,
Will you zip back to us, amongst the good,
And come back to your hood.
Yes I will, I am so sorry planet earth,
And promise your great length and girth,
That only you guys will i serve,
In my eternal life, I took a wrong curve.
He took his temperature every day,
And told the truth, he did not stray,
No longer a climate pirate but a friendly cartoon,
And the world would learn this soon.
Cutting out a paper moon,
now in April not in June.
Eating ice cream with a spoon,
seeing TV moon at noon.
Now gluing it will dry soon,
to make a funny cartoon.
Paper moon is a balloon.
I'll Bet You're Die-ING
To Break All Your Toys!
Because They're YOURS!!!!
Bore Your Boredom...

Break Your Joy'....
Until EVERYTHING Feels
!!!All Better!!!!

Are You Done?

We’re fed a smorgasbord of absurd lies
It’s like watching a preposterously bad cartoon
unfortunately we can’t turn off the television
We just can’t wish it all away

Lovely Penelope Pussycat
hung around at the local laundromat
till Pepé Le Pew got a good look
and decided to snatch her by hook or by crook

Rocky and Bullwinkle
a little crinkle in the wrinkle
suitcase packed with one spare denture
always up and ready for adventure

Dashing and debonair Foghorn Leghorn
During movie had a feed of popcorn
Shared it with Miss Prissy
Hoping for some kissy kissy

Salute to Quick Draw McGraw
given a fresh new bale of straw
worked as sheriff in the Old West
slightly dimwitted perhaps but always smartly dressed

Sunday matinee Pepé Le Pew
patiently stood in line in a queue
holding colourful balloons
to watch Looney Tunes cartoons

On the Warner set the Road Runner
had a bit of a tiff with Yul Brynner
They wrestled for the Golden Globe
threatening to send the loser aboard a space probe

There’s no confusing Wile E Coyote
with the illustrious Don Quixote.
One is not very handsome and sly,
the other a little more pleasing to the eye

My silent feline friend Felix the Cat
was accused of being a naughty brat
with his magic bag of clever tricks
a giant grin and ton of bricks
