dough-chew foo-witt dat hoe
sumthang aint right bout it
raking round acting like a shovel
dats ah hoe
rows and rows
of work to be done
dat is ah hoe !
COPLA 74 INVOCATION: This Bad Guy World
Is the quark a zero sum dot
Likewise the table to the mountain:
Try dot the spot
So is the gogga to Hottentot
And your toddler to the dragon:
Earth mere sun spot
Solar system lost in galaxy
Universe in Multiverses:
All gone to pot
Whose is the sum of this jelly
All strung up in stringy ellipses:
Might turn(ed) to rot
