Daffodils and Landfills

   O, the perfumed scent
     of lilac and daffodil
   You'll never replace the stench
     of the repulsive local landfill

   All hail to New Joisey, the Garden State
     weeds, thorns and thistles your visit await
   Yes, hail to Joisey, where the goils braid the hair
     in their nose with acid rain from polluted air 
  
   Forget your long-stemmed roses and fancy poses
     Gimme the stubby ‘toeses’ of Kardashians
   Broads who look swell ‘til they open their yaps
     Shut-up, honey. Unfasten your brassiere snaps… 

   All hail to New Joisey, the home of the oil slick
     See the pretty colors stream o'er her highways
   Yes, hail to Joisey, where the landscape's pure scum 
     Drink a toast to the reek of her rot ~ cheap Ripple and rum
