Visiting the Mortals
In San Francisco, on the trams
I saw a building pointed
Like some gnomon of the gods
A timepiece the clouds annointed
Prouder than the Babel Tower
Like Hercules it stood it's ground
We took a wrecking ball to it
It's structure with laughter did resound
As a metronome it did sway
Since God had spiked my Cola
Splashing the ocean and the bay
It made me cry, "Aloha!"
This dizzy earthquake pyramid
Caused my soul to shimmy
Mere mortals ran off and hid
Except for my friend, Jimmy.
