And the mountains stood up
and the trees did bloom
and color redefined itself
rivers cracked open their bleary eyes
and the ocean stretched her legs
the earth did sigh and sighed again
and the cliffs relaxed their stony faces.
They stopped and stared
at the wonders before them
they call these creatures inanimate
oblivious
they marvel at their growth
yet thinking not why
rather standing glassy eyed
when their faults led them to be locked
and put away
their world begins to breathe.
There's a party in the penthouse
where people come and go
admission is free and based on nothing
and if you go once, you'll never truly leave.
It's not hard to get in, but you won't be invited
Listen to my tale of woe
from the olden days
Sir Jack, he was a nobleman
who worked in all the trades.
The Queens, they all adored him
for he never missed croquet
the Kings called him for gin and rum
Half a turkey burger
add cheese
I want salad and fries
plus ketchup
and a cup of buttered noodles
because why should I have to choose
are you writing this down?
A drink, yes
