VISIONS OF THE APOCALYPSE

I have it on good authority

That the sun will rise

At least one more time;

But not necessarily tomorrow…

There is in Eden by a Tree,

A frog who sits and sings to thee:

Minky, Minky, Monkey Moo –

How doth my cretin steam!

Sing to me of the Bugaboo –

The Bugaboo, and the Dream!

Beneath the window, catching flies,

The Lord of All Creation lies…

If all the world were perfect,

And all the seas were pink,

Yet all my fleas had foul disease –

What would the neighbours think?

Behind the fountain, eating dirt

A man sits in a goat’s hair shirt.

Mary, Mary, Maid of God

Love me one more time;

Before my life evaporates

And all my dreams sublime...

Pussycat.
