joey and bobby


by genghis gilgamesh




joey had a lizard
bobby had a crow
the crow and the lizard played checkers
it was a long time ago

joey waited at the window
because bobby was late
the crow beat the lizard thirteen times
because he was the hand of fate

outside in the wilderness
a frog sat on a rock
the frog he knew what time it was
although he had no clock

a weary pilgrim walked the road
as snow began to fall
he saw a hut behind a tree
and heard a bluebird call

a bluebird or a walrus?
it was hard to tell
as hard to know as if the road
led to heaven or hell

the lizard finally beat the crow
and joey laughed out loud
but bobby was still missing
lost in the crowd
