Furious Simon's Nasty Humor
i had a dream
that the cook
leaned
& shook
his fist over the
balcony & said yes
to the people
yes the people
& he said this
to the people
"i want four cups of stormtrooper —
a tablespoon of catholic — five hideous paranoids—
some water buffalo —a half pound of communists—
six cups of rebel — two cute a theists —
a quart bottle of rabbi— one teaspoon of
bitter liberal—some intibirth tablets —
three fourths black nationalist —
a dab of lemon cock powder —
some mogen david capitalists & a whole lot
of fat people with extra money"
then the cook's helper
appeared
& cleared his throat & then he
said to the people yes the
people
"also we'd like a mocking bird
& some maids in milking— some raped
college students & a drenched hen —
two turtle gloves
& a partridge & a gin & a pear tree"
i awoke from this dream
in the state of fright — then jumped out of bed &
ran for the kitchen — crashed thru the door &
slammed on the light/fell on my
bended knees &
thanked God
that there was nothing new in
the ice box
dear Puck,
traded in my electric guitar for
one you call a gut one. . .you can play
it all by yourself — dont need a band —
eliminates all the fighting except of
course for the other gut guitar
players — am doing well — have no idea of
what's happening but all these girls
with moustaches, theyre going crazy
over me — you must try them sometime —
weather is good — threw away all my lefty
frizzell records — also got rid of my
parka — you can keep my cow as i now am"
