Felt the need to wander,
And for once to leave their house
For a land that lay far yonder.

The rules that one invents
Laws that must be seen to be
Beyond the reach of devilry

Absorbed by glowing colors on the wall
Their jaws slack, fetid whiff, unwashed and dank

In My ImaginationIn my imagination I have 16 nostrils,
As you can imagine that’s quite a buildup of green snot,
