Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse
Still struts through each media house,
With hose stretched tighter than his grin,
And yellow shoes too big for his thin shin.

Already the morning
is full of momentum
and is beginning to crash through
the defences, leaving pieces
scattered behind.
There are always broken
things left in the wake of time.
Take that Mickey Mouse clock
for example
with the snapped spring
and missing hand, the toy truck
with the bent and rusted out
trailer, the football
with its perished bladder.
You would gather up
all the broken toys
and put them in a box
in the vague hope that one day
they could be fixed.
They never were.
A life always leaves
a long trail of debris behind
until there is nothing left
to fall off, break or perish.

Knew a lad from the boonies
Could really belt out sad toonies
The ladies did cry
Big tears in their eyes
Farting out loud like Mickey Rooney

When I first heard of your demise,
I was at Mickey D's eating a cheeseburger and fries.
And when the newscaster said
you’d died when an elephant sh-t on your head,
it didn't come as a big surprise.

Dodgers in five. Yankee fans weep.
Four times Freddie Freeman went deep.
We hope to see you here
again, this time next year.
Duke and Mickey go back to sleep.

Looking down from somewhere up in the sky.
Mickey Mantle and Duke Snider stand by.
Below, Bronx Bombers, all in their pinstripes,
come out swinging their bats, taking their swipes.
Dem Bums have Shohei Ohtani and Betts.
Get ready, this is as good as it gets.
"Play ball", says the ump, to a lightning flash.
Big bats heard o'er the land, a thunder crash.
It starts raining as, out of the park, it flies.
Is it Mantle or Snider who cries?

Old smiling Mickey McGee
Cheated everyone he knew
As selfish as he could be
And of morals, he had few
He cheated playing poker
And he cheated on his wife
Just a real local joker
And a scoundrel all his life
One night while with a lady
Her husband caught them both in bed
His name was Sean O'Grady
Who shot Mickey in the head
Now on his wife you're gonna see
A wide and satisfied grin
Old smiling Mickey McGee
You know he'll never smile again

This is a tale of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck
In the kitchen a cake they both decided to cook
Not weighing the ingredients was a bit of a risk
Didn't separate them either with a fork or a whisk
Flour,sugar and butter was all over the place
No room for rolling there just wasn't any space
They added some raisins and chocolate too
Into the oven was the next thing they must do
Thirty minutes later Mickey took out the tray
Looks like a cake to me Donald did say
When it cooled down they both had a taste
None of the so called cake was put to waste

Presence as thick as the wall.
He stands lonely, often in some corridor, laughing at his own jokes.
When others are speaking, he rolls his eyes.
From his multi story gut, to the heights of his 80s style haircut.
You can’t slip down the corridor, always turning around.
You can’t, or do you even want to face him.
His stomach absorbs each personality, like his laptop under his tit.
Aways standing in the hallway, outside his office, transparent as his shirt.
Words from a demanding beard, the weak, ambitious climbing up each hair.
Fortunately, our jobs are just nine to five.
He bullied until the moment, when me and colleagues had tears of laughter in their eyes

Minnie mouse is so famous
Wearing bow as pink as rose
She also wears dress
So clean and no mess
And polishes her black nose
Mickey mouse likes her so much
They’re best friends, a perfect match
Both wear nice sports shoe
With colorful hue
So, they’re designs of wrist watch
Mickey and Minnie are smart
So talented since the start
They hold hands to dance
In a lovely prance
But Mickey gives a loud fart

Hey Mickey
What the hell you doing?
You know that Minnie will go ballistic
If she finds out who your wooing.
Your going out every night,
Not coming home till late.
She will chop your tale off with an axe,
And feed it you on a plate.
So come on then old Mickey,
Will you tell me who your seeing.
I bet it's someone just like you,
And not a human being.

I'm so tired of all these games,
Feeling things you have doubts about,
Feeling as if I have no heart.
I can't sleep.
I can't breathe.
There's no air.
So what do I do?
What do you do?
When all else has failed,
Well damn you go to Disneyland.
HAHAHAHA
Oh ya baby
When no one loves you
You can always count on Mickey
He's always there for me.......
HEY MICKEY!!!!!!!
