He foils all jokes, punchlines and jocularity
He foils all contrary philosophies in hilarity
He's sarcastic and sardonic, he's even ironic
Soon to be iconic and witted supersonic
He stands for absolute truth, this trailer trash sleuth
Rap Reynolds is his name, giving noogies is his game
This spark started in a trailer park
Conceived to be, and to leave his mark
A foiler of all who attempt comedy
And the outcome (for them) is a tragedy
All those who claim contrariness will be slain
He will counteract the bane of the vain
Spoiler alert The Foiler has come to foil the plans
Ready, aim, fire and all the funny business dying with a laugh
Oh no it seems every time an Eighties tune is played
(Within earshot) I transport instantly to that time and space
And for every knee slapper there is a counteract-er
He never went to college and he'll steal all your musical knowledge
P.S. Does he chortle and guffaw at every flaw
Is he witty and urbane towards the lines that are flubbed
Nah he just needs his tummy rubbed
And even though she is in a different dimension
He thinks a lot of Emma Bankz, she's his cardinal direction
crawling biting lacerating
sniffing, chewing
tunneling through
damp, waxy tunnel
ahh, sweet white brain
awaits…
gulping orange wax
swimming, striving
wait, I’m stuck!
what is this obstruction?
a strange, tough membrane…
elastic and taut
yes, of course, it’s the eardrum
foiler of earwigs
gotta punch through
snip tear poke rip slice
barely squeezing through
billowy elastic
syrupy warm fluid
slowing me down
sniffing pinching testing
struggling driving thrusting
ahh, finally…
the glistening white membrane
whoa, it’s slippery!
So plump, so electric!
white cheesy wonderland
viscous holiday
millions of neurons
Storing thoughts and feelings
master control center
the very essence of consciousness
right under
my brown, scaly legs
my prickly feet skittering
across the pulsing ridges
I believe I’ll deposit
Some filth…
