woke up to snowflakes falling
God is the winner

Office 
              crazy, demented 
          maddening, unsettling 
 pranksters, buffoons, mimes, fools 
           provoking, disturbing  
                 wild, insane 
                      Circus....

seagulls looked for garbled shreds,
scouring up after stray throngs
signs creak to swing of ocean
conducting to the depressed pranksters.

Dear parents, don't you agree
that you all quite regularly see
Your tiny pranksters shouting loud - 
Higher and shriller than they are allowed?

So here's the solution to end all your worries -
When your naughty little poppet stealthily scurries
To make blood-curdling, spine-tingling, uproarious noises,
Just scare them to silence with their headmasters' voices!...

Imposters I say smiling Cheshire cats
Pranksters of evil swindling wall rats
Sneaking and sniffling without any shame
Heretics of judgmental disdain
Throwing blocks between love creating hate
Jealous seekers they are born at hell’s’ gate
Horns on their heads hooves on their feet
Smell worse than pigs no good to eat
Don’t let them close these creatures of pain
They’ll trick You and use you for their own gain....

Magic bus curbed pranksters' zeal when
Misty's train track trip went rotten
Psychedelic metal feelin'

Magic bus curbed pranksters' zeal when
Groovy sparks of steel soared reelin'
All 'twas left was yellow cotton

Magic bus curbed pranksters' zeal when
Misty's train track trip went rotten

Once upon a time there were two jesters,
they didn’t survive but produced the storm;
Wildcats need to roam and will not reform 
adding their potency to disasters;

Crazy to caress a wild tornado 
try to level it to fall and lay flat;
As lethal as a swinging baseball bat 
running through the streets a desperado; 

Nothing felt better than a combined purr,
cluster bombs exploding with a climax;
Pranksters prowl along undiscovered tracks,
and the madness came tumbling after....
