“Blue Angels, Black Sheep, Monitors and The House of Random Penguins” 

The womb
is scooped like 
an over ripe melon

MR. FRITZ AND BLACK SHEEP  :

Arrival at the clinic,
We're here to fix things.
Where's the the dentist?
This dude tooth's aching,
Thus Black Sheep;
He's not fit for some days.

Who liked to tell us what to do

And he did bad things few people knew

I knew a pig in blue

Maybe we’ll stop somewhere nice
like a KOA campground.

It plagues the life of...

Chilled to bone in soul’s dark night,
