NOTHING'S PERFECT

Outalongate Stretch
on a stroll
a poor taste in 'er mouth

took to amending
pocket blending and
rocket production for the Soviet Union
as she liked the word union
it made 'er feel
good

looks and smells like silver bullion
the word union
'an she made and designed rockets
for the Soviet Union
'an made a billion in bullion


Windyhovernet Fank
her lover
was a spy
who looked every where afore he found her
fondled her so she couldn't refuse and they were married
in union


'an became Outalongate Stretch Fank
the wife of acorporal spying ring
he kept secret as his wedding band
he talked her into paying for too
in his broke condition

judged by all a wise decision
the Stretch Fank marriage
as far as anyone could see
that they didn't already know about

and never had been tested
arrested suspected
as the sky is assumed the source of
sunlight
they unassumedly drew no mention or attention
as the two of
one of a soviet rocket builder
and the other of a spy
strolled the lanes of prosperity in union
the soviet union
and handled a lot of its' bullion

She liked silver
and he
anything he an Alongate
could stretch from Frankly Nothing
...another associate
who gave 'em self
'is own name an' concealed truth
an' only lay in the
shadows
and 'ad reccomended 'heirs whole
careers
in planned
marriages parts and additions

Now, of amoralily, world problems and their solutions
a critic demand perfection
a pratical thinker always be stumped


Whats the matter, Whats wrong?
A less than perfect note in every song

An he came an settled upon the earth
An he wrote a song
he named the Less Than Perfect Song
of nothing but perfect notes
'ad caught on quick
for both the lazy
industrious
social leaches
and greatest producers
short tall thick....
teachers and preachers

Who
on reading or knowing
the
less than perfect asses' song

Assumed scientifically
all the parts the same as the whole

Be it either perfect or imperfect
he 'ad assured only 'is
philosophy 'ad
carried along....

after him

...A 'New Nothing Perfect'
bylaw and order of the universe
so as
the figuring critics
of 'is perfect ass
as he 'ad figured
weren't ever pleased
to see him an her together...
walk the roads and paths of life
together...
...
and...
he 'ad left 'is perfect lesson
all reflect upon

"Whats Wrong?"

As time 'ad changed 'an perfectly
added and
wrote upon
'is composed composted
earthly landing song.
became generally noted and written
as "anything's always wrong"
as either nothing was either
right or wrong
and 'ad kept all groomed
and a'roomed
busy amending
perfecting
'is perfect song

...to be alone with 'is life
bearing
wife
an' bowls of cherries
he 'ad in the window
with a candle
as a symbol
he said ...only he knew the
real meaning ...of...
a picture of a bunch of men
whose nose was being ground
up by the wind

And
forbade them all
the infinity of eternal hell
a sole
ever fix change
or amend
'is perfectly
described
living song
