A Crowd at the Radio Station on a Mild Spring Morning
all mine own thinking
for a missing link
as i had an inkling
that a first awards academy
had gotten here first
to the second's
last
and one time start
of the spacecraft earth
on its last perfermed booking
had it all locked up
all the vice voiced
I a forced for its bail
And
to
have all the
trailing reflections
derailed
into the same stockade
for some council
perspective
forest and trees
like service
in the park brigade
If they could still walk and think
"simultaneously"
was exactly how they said
they got him jailed, derailed
and reflecting as poorly
as the inflated recruit they also
intended aboot
with nothing to say, thought
or any thinking to add to any of em
scholars anyway
"Whats the meaning of this?" I asked
as their genious's had planned my
question
None of which of
had ever saved any less to say
"thoughless act"
Said Mr Moaning Mores' pennyanti
pre-riun-ed punning club
to get a loafing bad
mouth in an air
to pose himself poised as a scholar
with nothing not meant to his meaning
no more than a plush decor
he figured bought and owned for sure
Some of e'm walked, some of had gravity
a 'figured out completely
and a needed nothing prosthetic
a pickme up
a lift
coat or tie to any your honors
highest awards
The rest they all a come up even shorter
And a none appraised too oversized to start
To have a ended that way..
philosophically
a saying asaid
from the mouth
a mourning
A day drum's
drueling work
had a
syncronized itself
hiked itself
from such as-a-penneyless wage
as good as for a penney for your...
an' had set amob off
for an educational award
