Coda thaw

 When'll she crest 

    Take rest 

       Flunk flood's test 

I dunno 

  But I'm overawed 

     Pipes start to thaw 

Gotta hike to the shitter 

    We ain't quitters us critters 

        It's a swarm to keep warm 

The menagerie don't stall 

    Penned bard on a bucket 

       Don't just say luck it 

County-n-state date rape 

    Pass cold tater blame 

       Kudos yer shame 

Yer hoarding power

       Ivory tower on icicle bower 

       Go wheeler your weiner 

Stuck on steal gleaners 

Gonzo Gonzalez our frostbit hunters 

       They're  three yard punters 

      Call up the cavalry 

Crying lord Ryan 

     Safe shelter usury promise a lullaby 

     Mapp out distress by 211 regrets 

Our thumb gone on hold 

    Our digits peck gold 

        Lifelines sold, saltless the roads 

     Slipnslide ride chaffs my pink hide raw 

    Butt I'm overawed 

      Not to blush 

          At your genocide  

Trademarked imperial 

    Empire of ponzi thumb up to fonzi 

     Roaring away to a Ritz Carlton stay 

    Pee pee the tape 

          Supervise the escape 

From hot death to tepid 

     Simmering abandon 

           Take all the credit 

It's a solid potter blanket 

     Invisible to paupers field David placating Goliath

     Peeled banana by orange 

That ascension forlorn

       Transfigured your job 

Change or die blobbing 

     Merrily on sled thru Tabor all bled 

     Blanche white by greedy

Cliches for the needy 

      Hypocrite take 

Hypocratic oaths not to harm 

     Shovel the aspirin no asking 

Blow smoke up our asses 

       Donkey away, Shrek in dismay 

         It's a closed school parade

     Customs flayed no meat on the bone 

Home alone, the candlelight 

     Vigil, the Lincoln learned Virgil 

    FDR by a fireside chatted down the nation 

    Revere on a horse said 

Reverse or stay stuck 

      Glued in oil amber 

           A parking lot gambler 

RV just a shellgame 

       Pass buck to the luckless 

I'll barter your yo yo to ma 

       That's my flaw 

Three straws for the life boat 

      Pick short and get drawed 

           Cross bridge for sale 

I see Alaska from this tale 

        Stuck in my craw 

Let's sing out our Seeger

       Don't broom away seekers 

              Kneeling fer justice 

It's mere ice to bundled 

       Donor class yokels 

           A pine thru your mansion 

     Aerate the delusion 

          It's stuffy stuff heaven 

My bear clause rehydration 

         Hibernate morals 

Till the register oops opens 

      I'll stick with the governor

           Limit our speed 

Take heed of signs 

       Don't plower or glower in fancy yak flower 

     Beds done by maids 

Elders nursed by teens 

         Care starts at home call earth ET phones 

     I'm woke if your s'not 

          Shut close your heart clock 

        Dripping on sports

Go make snow angel forts 

       Lay down and wiggle

           In endzone antic giggle 

Showboat away on MLK day 

     That's your prerogative

            It's a fascist USA

Eat the Macy turkey 

      Pumped up on Ben Franklin 

     Rich and key fishing 

          Lightning blast Prometheus

      Put it on charge 

Burn down the glacier 

        30 million ton an hour 

We'll replace it 

       Bull on that China

Shop till you drop 

        Starbucks it to Ahab 

Let's lend ya a hand 

        A leg up and doubloon

To sway the masses

        The Whale white in reason

        Crush the armed season 

Shiloh Antietam 

       Gettysburg Vietnam

           Dakota the Poncas 

                Chief Joseph Jesus 

Who's fighting no more 

       Ultra men roasting s'mores  

      Don't knock on open whores 

       Magdalene your British snores 

      The Arthurian mist 

Made shindlers list 

       Look wally 

Soda fat sloppy 

        Here comes the pod 

Mothers and spawn, push their dead calves 

    Past dawn to the frat house 

Gutted off site 

      A prank off the plank delight 

      Sheriff of Nottingham

Lay off The Hamm

     He's harried by t Ross Perot 

           Let's eat fracked snow

No sand dead rabbits glow 

       Tailor your needs to three islands per oligarch 

       Eight media outlets 

800 megawatts and a zillion happy meals 

      Go Barry Sanders 

Quit while ahead 

       And shoulders above

           The wingless doves 

In bars serving oblivion 

         Contagion the hope 

Wildfire our dope 

         Regenerate some nerve don't swerve for deer decoys 

          Take roads less traveled 

By bus bike and foot 

       Give the other guy loot 

Its weighing world down

      False charity stripper 

             High heeled in spangles 

       Hydrocarbon moose dangles 

        Bench warm our kitten 

Born on basalt altars 

      Alter patterns destruction

Painting insurrection a viable abortion 

         Stuck not on love 

That chain of Tina Turner

        Go Fonda an elf in Montana throw medals over Kerry's fence 

     It's not remiss to question 

           The auto fill placation 

Crosshatch the sketch scene 

        Dimensional gelatine 

Can of spam kerosene 

         Dylan antipathy in soliloquy wannabes 

        Put on grunge Kurt and principled 

       Stand for fellow man 

Wobble not eating 

       Go vegan quit cheating 

Cannibalize amoebas after tunacan snuffing 

      A species a second 

Go mine asteroids for God bleedings 

      Rewire priority 

Frankenstein ms Shelly

      Home birth and fathers stay at home lovers 

       Write your skyscraper story

      Don't thermite your joy beams 

         Don't look away, Kate blanchet can play 

Don't look up it's divine 

        To John waters our brine 

Melt off bit by bit 

       A torrent of guilt 

            Recipe of action get way better traction 

    Studded in hades 

Trek Everest no Sherpa 

          Take what you need and plant seed in sherbet 

Amuse self with nature 

       Its exit call stow 

Divy the Vatican among indigenous heathen 

       Our brethren victims 

Our perfect children 

            Free goldfish not crackers 

        Tread softly the grasses 

Don't bling overmuch

       Flaunt by the crutches 

            Joke at expenses of the overdrawn withdrawn helpless 

      Blot out garbage 

Create baggage of resources

      Hand it to friends unmet 

Have new sacraments 

           Use crassness in moderation

      Harry Byrd Kline gave the courage to Hal Holbrook under the IPA guise 

    Be TWAIN ok I'm the calaveras frog 

     Leapt from anonymity blog 

Pinned to a matt 

     Like an OSU wrestler 

     Only for fun and Olympic gestures 

        Thorpe was my neighbor

Down in  Yale, skull and bones 

     We dug up Geronimo

And set him alone 

                Freebird they cried 

Burning lighter thumbs 

         Until SCOTUS was bribed by vacation to Gnome 

           Sic twas Rome

As and Peter king of Sicily 

        The Soule in me fights fascists 

       Like a Guillermo Basque 

Pan in the labyrinth

     And the milkmaid with a stiletto 

     Give a joker grin to hightail it to the Alps 

       The hills are alive 

With doe a deer a female drop of sun 

         Who needs men 

We got a mixing AI machine 

         It's multi track just as Sargent Pepper was hatched 

      There to pet chicks 

On highway 51  they holes in the box 

            Asparagus harvest 

Kinda like peyote, ancient 

         It hydras with care

A reburied repast 

        Wipe dirt over the cut part 

          Don't watch the kettle boil 

        Give babe the blue ox some pancakes by twin peaks toilet 

          Db Cooper and Angelo Badamenti, that dancing midget as nd strophe lights 

      That infrastructure outside 

The line men from Underground 

        Baltic as Heck 

Don't bomb the zoo you Nazi eggs, that's inhumane 

     I'd suggest 

Live secret Anne Frank 

      Not squeak nor glow she 

The Spotlight at Cannes your diary bestowed 

         Clapping for hours  Voldemort musk in the breeze 

     Twitter is Twitter not X nor CRAY 

           Kxry radio you spin like Rapunzel 

     What's my name pyrite as antidote for Black Widow programming

     Just kicked rhyme  

To free range my barbed wire flower bouquet

        Don't get cot 

I was late unsick at Multnomah worm convention 

     Froze to the sidewalk 

            A trophy for showing shoeing my grit a 4H hybrid orphan 

         I'll PP my way out just as the otters 

       Bouncing off curbs 

Land on a Holly Would moon my fat ass .
