Sam with the showing scalp flat top Particular about the point it made Why, when I was knee-high to a grasshopper This black juice came out on a hard shelf Chin And We Called that 'tobacco juice' I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx My black tarred Room absorbed every echo. The music was.. thud like. the music was.. thud like I usually played such things as roughneckin thug
Opaque melodies that would bug most people Music from the other side of the fence A black swan figurine lay on all color lily pads On a little conglomeration table of pressed black felt With same color shadows, and seamed(?) knobbed knees, and what-nots The long hallway rolled out into oddball odd Beside the fly-pecked black doorway That looked closed on the tar-lattice street Up a wrought iron fire escape Rolled out a tiny wooden platform with Dark, hard, dark rubber wheels Roll, skreek! roll, skreek! roll, skreek! Sam with the showing scalp flat top Particular about the point it made
Sam was a basket case!
A hardened dark ivory clip held.. saleable everyday pencils I wish I had a pair 'o bongos! Bongo fury! bongo fury! Oowwwww! bongo fury! (Boogie!) Bongo fury! bongo fury!
