Lemur Song Unsung
From leprechaun to Lancer
They dance from dusk till dawn
From Capricorn to Cancer
Upon the dewy lawn
Orion and O'Reilly
They turn from east to west
And, on the terrace, shyly,
Discuss my worthless vest
In strident denigration
And witless repartee
We spurn each constellation
And bend our gaze to sea.
O Isis and Osiris!
Oh, bugger this and that!
My throat is full of virus
And where's my blasted hat!?
From manatee to marbles
From time to time to time
The line that Greta garbles
Is one that doesn't rhyme
If that's the way she wants it
(or even if it's not)
Those clones that in the font sit
Will get it while it's hot
My rampant impetigo
Shall scald each Celtic cross
Within the bounds of Sligo
The Parish of Kinross
And as the churches tumble
The Zodiac spins on
I'll drink my fill of scumble
Until my hair is gone
And as my sight is fading
New senses supervene
As children, masquerading
See what remains unseen
As darkness falls upon me
And lightness rises forth
I read from Deuteronomy
While striding South or North
My tongue aflame with verses
My pyramid a pyre
I led my fleet of hearses
Beyond my heart's desire
Beyond the brink of of yearning
Horizon underground
My seventh sense is turning
All my cats have all been drowned
