Rites For Responsible Raisins
My cummerbund was missing
From Aunt Jobiska's line
When elephants were kissing
And stealing all the wine
And those who know me better
Determined to abjure
My highly fragranced letter
From such a paramour
For reasons now forgotten
For reasons once so clear
To those who dress in cotton
To those who sweat in fear
I'll tell my story drear
In tails and furled umbrella
I'd hastened from the fair
Aghast at Uri Geller
And his underwear
When his crooked spooning
Threw me in a rage
And his bilious crooning
Did not match his age
For reasons now forsaken
For reasons once inscribed
For those who ape the Kraken
For those you once described
I show what I imbibed
I drank it deep and to the lees
Despite the ebbing tide
I fell at once upon my knees
And spoke of homicide
I spoke unto a subtle scribe
In syllables of woe
I asked him subtly to imbibe
Two drops of H20
He shook his head in tragic wise
And shattered the pipette
Upon his windpipe and his eyes
He dabbed my serviette
As if to cause me most alarm
As if to still my heart
As if to draw me to the farm
as if to fill my cart
He pierced me with a dart
Envoi
For each impedance, one must match
The voltage of the Bandersnatch
Match it good! - match it true!
Oh frabjous day – Callay, Calloo ...
Now it's trapped inside our ZOO!
