Auntie Whee the absurd arrived, on her hat, a red bird.
Her jacket is ever so loud! I knew it meant she is proud.
She is not like the others, not the sisters or mothers.
Living in New York, and not eating burgers or pork.
Don’t let her rub off, I was warned, but I scoffed.
Her life looked brilliant to me, she was wild and free.
Her stories were a delight, I stayed up half the night.
More please I said more than twice, she was gentle and nice.
She’s different than us you see, said my uncle Lee.
Actually, different than him, but much the same as me.
When I grew up I would go to New York, and stop eating pork.
I wanted to be wild and free like my Dear Auntie Whee.

persnickety dickety whickety whee
the goomeiseters are coming to get you and me
I slide down the grass pipe, I stop to give one tiny tee hee
they are coming to get us, they’ll snatch us. You’ll see!
persnickety dickety whickety way
I have come here to play, I cannot be sent away
you’ll do what I say; I will hypnotize you, a stranger you’ll be
we’ll have some great moments, the goomeiseters, you and me.

Don't come around.Stay away from my door.
Don't come around.I don't want you no more.
Don't come around.I have made a decision.
My love's extinct like the passenger pigeon.
Don't send me letters because I'll just trash them.
Don't send me presents because I'll just smash them.
Find someone else who will love and respect you.
Someone who wants you and will not neglect you.
Thought we were perfect,you were my lover.
Thought we were perfect,I needed no other.
Thought we were perfect,but you're good at faking.
Thought you were faithful,but I was mistaken.
I
I came home early one day unexpected.
I got a shock but I did not expect it.
Heard a strange noise coming out of the bedroom.
Sounded like a wolf howling at the full moon.
AHoooooooo!! AHooooooooooooo!!!
I opened up the door and turned on the light.
The sight that I saw made my hair turn white.
OHHH! MYYY! GODDOG!!!!

My future is death
I am old
I am ready
To become part of the fold
Welcome back to the flock
And recycled swiftly
To return to the earth
Where things are a mess
Trying my best to help sort things out
But ecologically we are going to be in dire straits
Ruined the Ozone
The bees are dead
There is no coffee
I get recycled again.
Can I stay this time? I ask the angels.
They laugh and throw me onto a different planet
"You have not learned all the lessons yet," They say.
I am horrified.
This planet is worse.
No water, and no air.
I am swiftly taken back up to heaven.
What kind of life was that? I ask them.
A baby who gets right back? What was the purpose?
"It was not your lesson," they tell me. "It was for others."
Whap. I am back to Earth. Whee!
