In Xanadu did Newton-John

[Marcus Bales]

In Xanadu did Newton-John
A sated pleasant hum emit
As sperm from Zatoichi-san
Sloshed inside her, while some ran
Down one cheek a bit

For twice five times the diva dove
Orgasmically as Zato strove
Through privet thickets deep and dark and dense
Where somewhere blossomed one sweet fragrant bloom
Which spread each time when found for his immense
Enjoyment – or, at least so we assume.

But oh ! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the smooth hill athwart a cedarn cover !
A savage place ! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover !
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced :
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail :
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.

Five moans meandering with a mazy motion
Through hill and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean :
And 'mid this tumult Newton heard from far
Ancestral voices saying “You’re a star!”

The echo of the hum of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves ;
Where with was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sated pleasant hum heard five times twice!

And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware ! Beware !
His flashing eyes, his floating hair !
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.

At dinner we let the phone ring

[Hyakujo's Fox]

At dinner we let the phone ring
As we feared what news it might bring

At dinner we let the phone ring
As we feared what news it might bring
Aunt Agnes had borrowed the car

[zenbabe]

At dinner we let the phone ring
As we feared what news it might bring
Aunt Agnes had borrowed the car
But not to go very far

[Zatoichi]

At dinner we let the phone ring
As we feared what news it might bring
Aunt Agnes had borrowed the car
But not to go very far
Still, last time she called from Sing Sing.

As we feared what news it might bring
Aunt Agnes had borrowed the car
But not to go very far
Although she used our crusty old Mazda Sting

The table top, stained by the wine,

[dddrum]

The table top, stained by the wine,
Reflected the morning sunshine

[Marcus Bales]

The table top, stained by the wine,
Reflected the morning sunshine
I got out the Comet
To clean up the vomit

[Zatoichi]

The table top, stained by the wine,
Reflected the morning sunshine
I got out the Comet
To clean up the vomit
Whose? I'm not sure, but not mine.

Somebody liberate the garden gnome

[Marcus Bales]

You may randomly pick out a name
And with husbands and wives just the same;
But random in meter
Is free verse, you cheater,
And isn't quite playing the game.

[Zatoichi]

The gnome in the garden's got wise

[Hyakujo's Fox]

You may randomly pick out a name
And with husbands and wives just the same;
But random in meter
Is free verse, you cheater,
And isn't quite playing the game.

Oh come now don't be so offended
'Twas merely one line got extended
And wasn't it recently
You went on indecently
How Zato found Livvy so splendid?

[ambo]

Ditto

[ambo]

Somebody liberate the garden gnome
He seems to me to feel not at home

[Zatoichi]

The gnome in the garden's got wise
And comprehension has brought him surprise
Those big folk who walk
With voices that talk
Still miss the sublime in sun's rise.

In the future I'll try to be neater
One line at a time

In the future I'll try to be neater
One line at a time
If not, it's no crime

I apologize for my bad meter
In the future I'll try to be neater
One line at a time
If not, it's no crime
And neither is bad meter, Rita

And now that sweet peace is restored

[trisherina]

And now that sweet peace is restored
It's time for your ox to be gored

[Hyakujo's Fox]

And now that sweet peace is restored
It's time for your ox to be gored

And now that sweet peace is restored
It's time for your ox to be gored
the gods need appeasin'
with rhymin' and reason

So let's get this box of wine poured

One nostril's blocked up by two toes
