there was a poet that wore strange wigs 
they were made with wool and broken twigs
his rhymes were always corked 
their meaning often forked 
as that poet wrote between rum swigs

there was a poet in a fresh grave 
who rang a bell for his butler dave 
but dave had gone away 
to serve time without pay
for giving the poet his last shave

there was a goblin driving a car 
after drinking all night in a bar 
the road threw a hard right 
then ducked down out of sight 
thats how goblin's world became fubar

there was an ape sitting in a tree 
he jumped from his damp nest to fly free 
orange leaf raindrops fell 
on the broke carousel
as the ape joined the fun parks debrie

there was a peddler escaping jail
through the belly of a great white whale 
only to be stranded
when darkness expanded 
as the white whale slowly did exhale

there was an old poet oracle 
who saw all fate as historical 
when he saw his own end 
it drove him round the bend 
the poet's doom allegorical

there was a witch living in a box 
her partner was a bit of an ox 
their romance a pox maze 
to the end of their days 
when their storms washed away their love box

pox -,a curse.

there was a wizard cutting a lime 
the lime aroused an internal rhyme 
he watched one more sunset
smoked his last cigarette 
then that wizard met with father time

there was a hermit on a hilltop
who on the old gods he did eavesdrop 
their plots to fool mankind 
to raise their flocks unkind 
so the hermit spat in his god's slop
