the search


by genghis gilgamesh



adam angrily went on the attack
boris bounced a basketball behind his back
cassandra chattered like a chattanooga train
delilah dumped a dinosaur down the drain

elwood explored an empty envelope
frankie found a football which she frantically groped
george glowed ghastly when his gorilla growled
harry was hounded in a hayfield and howled

irma was inflamed by an insolent imp
johnny was jobbed by a jocular gimp
kenny was king in the karma of his dreams
lulu lost her lollipop in a muddy stream

mike was manhandled by the merciless minions
of nebuchadnezzar’s nihilistic dominions
omar khayyam was open all night
and pitied poor pancho villa’s plight

the queen of the may had nothing to say
but remembered king richard on her wedding day
schehezerade told a sad tale
sinbad the sailor never caught jonah’s whale

uncle bud will track you down
aunt victoria will always frown
when you stand and wave on the balcony
remember the nights when you slept in the trees

wish for a nickel and expect a penny
forget the dimes, you won’t get any
don’t be afraid to step on that crack
in the sidewalk - but don’t look back
