And Why Does the Green Polar Bear Speak?
They eat their mushy tator tots
In a bowl full of
Water from the sewer
That they've
Bathed
In for the last six months
While I wonder where all
The famous people
Like
Jimmy Hoffa have gone to be buried.
Then the people ask me why funky
Is a word
That they use
When they light the
Fires of their own
Funeral pyre,
And I respond that the battery of life is
Nearly empty.
But should I tell
All the people searching for coins
Under their communist couch
That all the world is funky,
knowing that only cool cats
And daddy-O's like me can dig it?
Or should I let the
Green polar bear, in its toga of repression speak its
Lies while all of the doughnuts are
Eating the peace?
Note: I know that the scroll here formats everything to the left, and b/c of the way i type my poetry w/ lots of funky spacing, it, in my opinion, takes something out of the works. That's why this one and the two below it might look a little odd now b/c their spacing has been changed. If anybody'd like original copies w/ my spacing, feel free to email me and i'll send you a file w/ them. And thanks to anyone who decides to read this, hope you enjoyed it.
