Mister Magoo -
“Quincy’s” eyesight’s askew.
This old geezer
tried his hand as “Ebenezer.”

oblivion is nothing new ~ i’ve been there once and will go back too
i awoke crying as sensations grew ~ til death rubbed out all i knew
god only knows who’s really who ~ i’m bamboozled a sign could do
blackboard equations esoteric and true ~ chalk dust for us to chew
can’t see past these monokus ~ that’s okay try this existential clue
life blindly flails on through ~ to bumble and fumble like mr magoo

The polka dotted monkey had a banana in each hand.
He did a flip, a summersault and a giant handstand.
We noticed his colorful bib then that said “Be you”.
He was our favorite part of the circus said Mr. Magoo.

do not look at me said our lazy cindy lou
she is likely to overdo it if she does it, said Uncle Stew
Dolphin shook his head, voting for Magoo
All we needed now was a boy named Sue
a ghost came along with a big boo hoo
He could not find his shadow said cousin Piggy Pooh
It is under the fence where the kukaburrah grew
this was told by a cat chasing Things one and two
we all ended up in a cottage next to a witch’s flue
someone asked when is the old hag making up the brew?
I had to run back to town for some Pennsicola blue
when I got back I saw the toe of a butterfly’s shoe
a mouse was trying to get out of the sticky green goo
he said “I never wanted to be part of this beefy stew!”
a beat cop came by looking for the hag named Mrs. LaDoo.
He saiid please tell her the gargoyles are fighting in the slew.

What is her name? We asked those who lived on floor blue.
Her name is Moo, and she is always wearing a flowered mumu.
No someone argued; that cow’s name is Frank footer Sue.
Why would that be? We wondered. Does it seem weird to you?
Why would a cow be named Frank footer, Mr. Magoo?
Magoo looked rather sheepish, it is best what he’ll do.
Seriously I queried. Is her name Sue, Lou or Magnificent Moo?
Here she comes now he said. And she smells quite like pooh.
I think she smells lovely I told him, down to her shoe.
He guffawed and laughed, he is evil, this mean Mr. Magoo.
Her name is Moo as surely as I live on this wing in blue.
For sure she was wearing a flowered mumu.

On a head, there lived a louse,
It was this itchy louse's house.
Mr Magoo was a mole,
Who lived in a deep, dark hole.
BANG! the head just shot a grouse!

Dr Jekyll is your uncle! Lucky you! Lucky you!
Of course they say that, to them he is Mr.Magoo.
Doing peculiar things, making crazy things appear.
They do not see Hyde, who will smack up your rear.
Dr. Jekyll is marvelous! Dr. Jekyll is sweet!
He is the best entertainer in the entire town of McWheat.
Of course they think that, he is a celebrity to them.
They do not see his mean streak, the one that killed Jim.
They think he is marvelous, for he gives them a smile.
He shows them a side we do not see at home on a dial.
We get Mr. Hyde, snarling like a wolf who gives us a growl.
They only see social persona, Jekyll, who does not dare howl.
We have welts and bruises and whip marks from Hyde.
He keeps all this evil to himself, until he gets us inside.
Lucky you lucky you! The neighborhood kids all say.
Not having any idea how mean Hyde is each and every day.

I shudder to think of Mr. Magoo
He got himself in an awful stew
Blind as a bat,
Fell in a vat
Sadly, it was a cauldron of glue.

The day the pond dried up, the ducks were blue.
They spoke to the chickens, the turkeys, the peacock too.
They wanted to speak to the rancher, and possibly sue.
He was nowhere around, that tight wad, Magoo.
I know it’s his fault the blue ducks said, forming a mob.
They began to taunt him, calling him by his name – Bob.
His wife came out and tried to chase them with a broom.
They enticed her to eat a psychedelic mushroom.
She was soon on their side, and she rebuilt the pond.
The ducks were less blue, but Farmer Bob was still gone.

I taught I taw a weird sight on Halloween nwight,
I swear, I can still picture it in my horrwified head.
Mr. Magoo was there and filled with fwight,
but unlike before this time he wasn’t polite.
Scwooby-Doo awived and said, “Frwed is dead!”
“How could this be?” I exclaimed in miserwy.
This had to be another Scwooby fabwication.
Then Wilma came up and appwoached me
said, “He cwashed the Machine of Mystewy!”
I taught I taw Mr. Magoo stuck in fascination.
It was Halloween so naturwally everyone feared
that this was another cwurse from Fozzie Bear.
They all waited until the curious crowd cleared,
then guess what? Rainbow Bwight appeared!
For she was Frwed’s girlfrwend; Fozzie was unaware.
Fozzie was marrwied to Rainbow but they sepawated.
He became furwious and filled with jealous rage.
So, an angwy cwurse on “Cartwoon Nation” he cweated.
Fozzie must have done this operwation to Frwed negated-
but what do I know…I’m just a Tweety Bird stuck in a cwage!

Bugs Bunny was a hero that wore no mask
That rascally rabbit, "What's up doc?", he'd ask!
The Flintstones Fred yelled,"Yaba daba doo!"
Wilma, Barney and Betty there with him too!
Popeye would always say, "I'm strong to the finish!"
Do you know why? "Because I eats me spinach!"
Rocky and Bullwinkle almost all of the time
Kept spies Boris and Natasha from doing crime
The Jetsons had all the space gizmos to get
George, Elroy, Jane, Judy and Astro their pet
Mr. Magoo clearly the most near sighted of men
Would say, "Oh Magoo, you've done it again!"
They said, "It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a frog!"
He answered , "It's just little old me, Under Dog"
Then we knew it was the end of the jokes
As soon as Porky Pig stuttered, "That's all Folks!"

IF YOU WERE FOOL ENOUGH TO….
If you were fool enough to ask me things that better be
What I’d rather do twiddle-doo twiddle-dee if I were free
Yes, if you lived in a caved-in sagging igloo like our Magoo
I’d say go to sleep thinking of sweet Sue in downy mildew
Suck honey sirupy through wildly singing tulip stalks
Wake up on clouds fluffy where this world ne’er baulks
Better be listening to long King Crimson aubades fade
Than bang through Doors the mashed ear-drum brigade
Toss through worlds where logico-tractatus makes sense
Than watch elected hypocrites lipservice nuclear rea mens
Who would grudge me leave fuming in contours cannabis
Away from all this ritual rigmarole: watch praying-mantis
Mount your own back to munch your own squirting penises
What a donna-wetter way to perpetuate the human species

Bill and Ben the flower pot men
The Clangers and a soup dragon
Bungle and Jeffery and a Rainbow in the sky
Crackerjack, Banana splits go wild
Dick Dastardly and Muttley
Mr Magoo is that you
The Flintstones yabba dabba do
just some of my childhood tv friends

what is love?
not a glove
doesn't always fit
sometimes its just spit
but its fine wine for someone
when Mister Magoo is gone
