poem 51


by dog e relaford



a porcupine and a rainbow
went fishing in the deep blue sea
the porcupine said, you’re a thundering bore
and the rainbow said, who, me?

sheriff john brown and rasputin
flew by in a red balloon
the sheriff said, please vote for me
and i will see you see all soon

moby dick and jonah’s whale
were lying in the weeds
they overheard the conversation
but paid it little heed

the duke and duchess of fare thee well
overturned in a canoe
and swam home with their straw hats over their faces
because it would never do

albert einstein and robin hood
set up an honest game
but their teddy bears turned into army boots
and floated away in the rain

when the pope woke up in the morning
he discovered his wallet was gone
he shaved with his rusty old razor
and sadly greeted the dawn

little bo peep and schopenhauer
argued whether life was a dream
after a while they got hungry
and went fishing in a muddy stream

everybody has a moment
when they see everything in a flash
so carry your credit cards everywhere
but always pay in cash
