Mentally they sang
Mentally deprived
The parody in poetry form
awakens
w/ damaged brains
& blackened souls
Mentally they pray
in daft comical aspiration
Who called these mmm-mimes to sing?
Was it the accordion player
learning to play a little ditty
by Weird Al
Was it the s-special children?
Was it Weird Al himself,
blubbering, lamenting
laughing mm-mmm-maniacally?
I call on you to
announce this renaissance
I call on you to denounce
this madness s-shedding like a
ssssssnake skin
I call on you to mock
me too, to parody
me in some new song
& now I call on you
to say:
Lament for my sock
Lost and petrified
I need to wash you
Acquiring comedic visions
You can open halls for comedy
Slideshow
How to acquire laughs
On the late night
show
Sitcom laughs
Which the mind
Ignores
Backwoods
History
Which makes
Me write
No gain
The loss of my sock
is tripe
Forbid the poor old mimes
From this past century
That gave us
Ish Kabibble
in the night
Comet player
Ancient wise jester
Sew your ode
to my sock
Left to ferment
Regift and hide us
is chosen
Lost socks
A collage of knowledge
Soaking in the sink
Another pair as a gift
This is a parody of life
The Divine Novelty
Words Whiff Witticism
This sole sock
Alone in the hamper
With some stained underwear
& a snot full bandana
Each one connects
To create a new cycle
which washes in pace
Could anything be more smelly
Than the loss of these
used socks?
"I pressed the button
& the water rised"
The loss of a friend
The loss of my sock
means the world
Will they forbid
this great perjury
in the name of
our Fathers
their sons
& our daughters
Sentenced to life
Worms are stealing
For the loss of my sock puppets spirit
has true meaning in this soft charade
Waters cleanse the wounds
& disguise the smell
If you believe
All join now in lament
for the loss of my sock
a collage of knowledge
in this nurturing blight
We get cold feet
& suffer
I sacrifice my sock puppet
on the alter
of parody
