Lettuce For Sodomy
A beach-ball and a pancreas
Delighted on the strand
The Devil laughed to see such ass
But could not understand
Why Simony was out of vogue
And Nepotism's mate
Gave voice in such a limpid brogue
And vouchsafed for a date
Still Sodomy was all the rage
Though catamites deplored
To do the deed with smudging sage
(No matter how they'd whored!)
A magpie and a coffee cup
Made bloodless war by chess
Saint Peter sighed as this came up
Again; and let's confess
The sins of Dadaists are odd
When summoned in a trice
To gargle marzipan for God
Then spit it up as lice
Still Sodomy was all the rage
In Heaven as in Hell
Just ask the soul of Satchel Paige
And Harvey Milk as well.
An aardvark and a raven's leg
Conspired to overthrow
Saint Bernie and his brandy keg
And locked them up below
In caverns by the waterside
Where merry streamlets played
To drown them with the rising tide
Of rancid lemonade
Still Sodomy was all the rage
In Cannes as well as Rome
Where oft it graced the poet's page
(But what a sticky tome.)
