waiting


by genghis gilgamesh



a barbarian named bud
liked to play in the mud
he wandered wild and free
and avoided polite society

bud met a lion named lou
who on humans liked to chew
accounts of their interaction are unclear
but from bud we have yet to hear

the sun sits in the sky
an observer with a dry eye
mountains flick shadows across the plain
a monkey and a hippo pray for rain

the rain plays hard to get
and they may be waiting yet
sitting patiently in the sand
trying to understand

where it all went wrong
a hyena sings a song
about it all being over soon
but it does not have much of a tune
