Box

Think maybe I'll make a box.
I think I'd like to make things out of wood.
But then maybe
I should think
about
the folks who make that wood.

Are the underage?
Do they get fair wage?
Lunch breaks?
And an HR guy who knows
how
to manage their 401ks?

Oh, man. I want to help them out.
Really I could really do the proletariat good.
And then maybe
they'd be grateful
and they'd give me the gift of wood.

Are they underage?
Do they get a fair wage?
Lunch breaks?
And an HR guy who knows
how
to manage their 401ks?

Bring Me An Egg, Sweet Jesus

The green grass grew up early this year.
In fact, it never left.
I might believe in climate change
if in faith I was bereft.
Now, Christ he comes in bunny form--
I'm clear on all the facts,
as clear as the sky, as clear as my
mangled, rhymed syntax.

So,
Bring me an egg, sweet Jesus.
Come invisibly, in bunny shape.
Sweet candies you hide
in the hole in your side.
Reach in.
Reach in.
And bring me an egg, sweet Jesus.

I always vote Republican.
The way the bible says.
And I'll root for the Jews in Jerusalem
up until the end of days.
Jesus is furry when he wants to be--
that's just the way things are.
And he'll smite the Jews when he wants to too,
and the followers of Ishtar.

So,
Bring me an egg, sweet Jesus.
Come invisibly, in bunny shape.
Sweet candies you hide
in the hole in your side.
Reach in.
Reach in.
And bring me an egg, sweet Jesus.

Umlaut

I need to correct a few of my pseudodeutsch spellings, but here's a glorious blast from the genius Dzhrew. He came up with the idea & wrote some of it, then we recorded it together at his place, manye yearse agoe.
