I Should Invest In a Parka, or Shawarma

The clouds are out,
The dog's away,
The cat's around,
No mice today.

'Pistol at my hip.'
Indy had a whip,
Between my finger and thumb
The barracuda drifts.

The sound of the drip, drip, drip,
Shattering syntax with breath,
My pen has found an edge,
Sauntering in F, in F or G,

Major chord, perfect fifth.
Get your fix, it's time
To split some wigs,
Let's hit the scene,

Follow the dream,
Make the heads turn
Round the room,
Show em all who's really who.

It's so hard
To go into the city
Cause you want to say
'I love you,' to everybody.

Just call this my Geneva ditty,
Pretty like, 'tenement window,'
Cellar door sounds like innuendo,
Mine's better cause it's gritty.

What's the Maastricht treaty?
Happy Friday, it's good to be
Alive, I'm not really a hippy,
Hit me on the hip when you get me,

I'm peacing, side-step the whole season,
I don't need anything to believe in,
This includes the 'law of attraction,'
Manifest some water for the people in Africa,

All you rich white folks, go for gold,
Go pro, pro-bono or I'm gone,
A penny gained is a penny lost,
They said I was a lost cause,

I lost a lot, sure,
Staring down the barrel of a loaded gun,
Nowadays, the kids do that just for fun,
Try and pass the time,

Enough's enough, I'm
Bye, bye, bye.
No hell can assail me,
I'm 27 and I will see 30,

And 50 if the fates don't disagree,
In turn I search,
Fourth diminished,
Minor three, disheveled

Appearance, kemosabe
Kick-me, make no mistake,
My friend, the house has the rake,
The fish has the fleece,

The goose is safe, at least.
I'm away from the trouble,
Away from the greed,
I only want what I need,

Calmly nods yes,
Listens to the unrecorded minute
Wisped up in his head, looks to sea.
Be prepared, things are about to get a lot more weird and void.

Like a wolf within the sheep I'm bound to reach catharsis,
Like a wolf within the sheep I'm bound to reach catharsis,
I dipped my ink in fires, and delved my tongue in parchment.
Cut the bullshit, you're cute, but too quiet.
