This is a Limerick about Baxter the Bunny,
an animal comic that Spike thinks is funny
I've seen him before
at the Comedy store,
I wonder if he makes good money...

THERE ONCE WAS A BOY WHO WAS A FRESHMAN

WHO’S STUDY HABITS WERE A MESS-MAN

TOM WOULD NEVER GRADUATE FROM YALE

HE WOULD SURELY WIND UP IN JAIL

ALWAYS HIDING AWAY FROM THE ARREST MAN

but I'm too stupid to figure me out."

 dewdrops are sparkling over cactus thorn
like icy diamonds this misty morn

cold desert wind through the Mesquite trees
the sweet smell of sage lingers in the breeze

as the sun climbs past invisible clouds
the burning sky melts the misty wet shroud

mercury is high but the air is dry
somewhere under the tangerine sky...

and gigolos on Baxter Street, giving 
long, drawn looks into adjacent nebulae,
ads for screen tests, and other black holes;

and that's all well and dandy fine; but it
isn't home, no, no; it isn't that....

old rhythm makes
boredom dissipate 
and helps smiling to
be fun

something about that

on a ride with baxter and the gang
on the other side of a dream come true
and the latest scene of amazement

two minutes and some change later,
when old rhythm ends, another follows,
and i am the happiest butterfly in 
captivity using the net as a makeshift 
hammock...
