I spied a Mexican hot potato
But better by far

So I made a bee line
Along with the other bees
My heartbeat
Repeating:
“Lilacs! Lilacs! Lilacs!"

driving into the Walmart parking lot,
spied tons of seagulls,
so ran like a bull,
a passerby looking like Alfred Hitchcock.

Spied a dina with windows open wide
There was food on the table 
With long necks they were able
To eat and drink until giraffe-ified....
