terrible 2


by horace p sternwall



long ago, when the world was young
adam had a stick and eve had a tongue
adam knocked apples off the trees
and eve hurled imprecations into the breeze

the sun comes up, the moon goes down
a dog and a monkey went to town
they passed an elephant and a cow
tripped on a rock, and were hitched to a plow

the earth blew up and turned into a rocket
adam put eve in his back pocket
she hit him on the head with a frying pan
and they went into orbit over disneyland

i got an a i companion and a giant squid
in a secret passage in my left eyelid
the rules are rules, but not for me
because all i want is to be free
