Alley Loo Yeah Chorus
or Sane Tongue Worth Thousand Manners
Fickle fingers at point
seeking out Tad
who would stand for Simple Simon yearnings
stoolbound in corner
dunce cap anointed
Tad, we proclaim,
though greater machinations get abroad
over dead bodies
than ABC's abrogated
Oyez Oyez Oyez
Hey man Hey man Hey man
O yeah O yeah Oyeah
Thumbsruck Tad
fundament three o-pinioned
R for rogue
R for rebel
R for refractory
alley will lull y
alley will fool y
alley will school y
sully me none
heads will nod
t'others will roll
hey ho me hardhearties n bullyboyz
alley lullaby 'll rule y!
Tad, one ear bugged by radio hot line wiseacre
whoz tossin stone with malapropos zeal
t'other boxed by Salomez head-on-platter song
let's all sing Salome's song
let's all sing Salome's song
let's all sing Salome's song
sin, gentlefolk, please!
if'n everybodyz victim
all hands turn up clean
whoz to blame?
let's all play hide-n-go-seek-'m-out:
anomalees, if you please … first!
If'n everybodyz victim
then everybody can be predator
But top must be on bottom
bottom must be on top
That's the rules of the game!
babe in manger
idiot on stool
what do they have in common
when one was born to rule?
tother was not meant for throne or parliament
he was taught misbegotten role:
how to play the fool
shapes!
we come born in shapes
some shapely, some misshapen
by whose standards?
critical eye! prejudicial I!
exception to rule of order
Tad by election
posted kittycorner to schoolroom
pilloried figure of shun
for pointed sniggers and gibes
here he reigns
anointed with generation's dust
dunce's cone for crown
he shall moan
he shall whimper
he shall not cry uncle
with temper main gauge and helpmeet:
to hot blood and cold circumstance
he shall knuckle down
come! sez alley-loud-yeah prophet
i'll spin you tuppeny dream
i'll box you shadow play
i'll sing you te deum
i'll hymn you alley-loud-yeah anthem
yeah
why does hell befriend fear
yellow delight mucked up by dearie-me
yelp tail-tucked between loins
sliding away from afraidz welcoming charm
resisting abrading miracle
of being washed up with aphroditez foam
furrow ploughed ad lib
greek-fustianed
share rotating determinate earth
oxen stubbing hooves on precursory marbles
writing is writ
informing terra firma
great gas oven sun eyeballs horizon
sugar-coated pasteldrawing job f nemesis
moon twilights earth
deaf eardrum f star
paying dues in peripheral dalliance
circumspect marriage avoiding crunch
touch n go catastrophes happen
plague f hunches leapfrog to armageddon
clearsighted window
gazing out
reminds us of eye f gods
looking on from idle end of telescope
if pleading-dumb philosophers re-script no proverbs
who stands holding oracular telescope
does watchdog science own no mortal provenance
is classical clearsightedness looking-glass
whoz watching whom
must we solipsize with yeahway:
"i am what i am"
and p.s. with popeye:
"that's all that i yam!"?
who z nasty wiseacre politico
flowery-bold
advocating nuclear bloomstorm
in gestalt amphoric cup
alley-wise
we beware
greeks bearing gifts
sunscorched miracles beyond mention
suborn deserts
decorate walls f monumental tombs
surefire exclamation period
tonguetied recite no proverbs
when doom becomes rule f thumb
who holds record up to light f day
tallyhoing score as foxes begin their run
heart cant compass proliferation
nor hanged body avoid jounces t taut halter
tethered camel cant enter eye f portal
ruminating scientific telescope notwithstanding
such good beginning
dark clouds don't believe in rain
proverbs hang on crosstrees
pluckable as ears f grain
luck n desire twine as synonyms
snow falls at Xmas on schedule
gods content themselves with fun and games
such good beginning
joyful voyage swung in salty waterz warm habitat
through eras recapitulated
importunate disjunction prompts laboured howl
met with cosy teatz divine succulence
such good beginning
prompts coup de scapegrace
Tad throws snakeeyes with namesake
maladroitz forfeit justifies usurperz omnipotence
though how is not plain
such good beginning
after promise of rosemarie dawn
we'd leap helter skelter over himalayas
instead sour losers debate wrathful wine
eden honeymooners dispossessed
opt for modicum f eternity in vain
behold hotline protagonist
cauliflower ear fer euphonious rhythms
teaching deucedly dunces
who squat hangdog
like round pegs in four-cornered circle
performing wrongheaded penances
come on with crossed-up mating signals
pugilists bound for fisticuffs
as if taking "gotta eat own cadillac" concerns
at plus literal value
gets m squared off in frame for fame
parsimonious mind picks over ruined feast
leftover cornucopia
sneaks off with crumbz comfort
what z devoured joins incremental midden
hyenaz shit wormz titbits
least averages most
posthumous dance f musical chairs
who z kidding whom
remonstrance about proprietary rights f critical telescope
terminal questions split tongue
hyenaz slit tomorrowz exit fer patent scavenger
anticipates wormz diet
questions terminate in ready-reckoning
"cripples are fated"
"fate cripples"
become toothsome sops thrown to contentious workus packs cums judgment
weve worriedly worn record thin
trumpet voluntary
supposed to bring on cavalry
conceal disappointment
disguise chagrin
heaven hath no brimstone fury
like angel in sinbin
cums alley rhubarb chorus
nyeah! nyeah! nyeah!
heavenly brew-ha-ha first forswore us
run agony thoroughly
round n round
until we get dolour n sense
record z worn us thin
love aint grand
love aint worth twocents
cept when dollarz held in hand
love z undressed mannequin
upon crosstrees
granted artless rejoinder:
we are bigger than this
cums end
granted no life f riley
granted no regression to womb
granted tombz stony finger z no headrest
who looks to directions from whom
cums end
granted wars supposed good for survivors
granted desert z lucked-out hitchhiker
taken fr ride
granted sneakyeye z heavenly throwback
whoz left to pull out apocalyptic plum
no cloud sheds tears over rude beginning
no storm hoists thumb to beg ride
no continent sewer emptied guts uphill
no millennium arrives c.o.d.
when pissed-off moles reign warren as midden
there ll be rakehay in hell to pay
good bye common sun
hello lackaday
composing lens f scrutinizing telescope
tippled bottlez lookalike
wondering eye at both ends
mouth to neck f insight behold:
graspin palm z match fr brandished fist
wars gross out in subliminal averages
n punytive peace selects havenots n kings
cums genuine halo-collared oracle
seers hello thru peoplehole
bringeth forth undergladtidings:
puckerlips yields outlandish eclipse
after crackle-n-pop doom fr breakfast
crumbs f comfort to regale rumblin stomachs
stockpilerz f proverbs n gunz
tighten slack in apronstrings
cums down to what z up
granted goateed n cloven-hooved one z out to pasture
granted cinderella shoe-in fr princess
granted infant millennium z no victim f lewd origin
if alley z mooted pathway to salvation
when firestormz brutal affront z brushwarred
to cosy warm hearth
'who z who' wont read 'o to whom' nah
no better beginning than feelin fit to bust
getting leg off three o'pinioned stool
thumb n tongue unstuck
kiss off incidental luck n fly-by-night lottery folly
kiss off glamour-spangled limousine lust
kiss off primetime religious vaudeville
song n dance fr god and begging bowl routine
kiss off beggarly dole fr havenots
or toughtitty on saint anthonyz own
runts o litter
kiss off bouquet garni:
raw malice green envy dried greed
ground all-spite n crushed bitterroot f blame
flavouring in transglobal stew
pressure-cooker we lit fire under
kiss off with alley loud:
yeah amen n good riddance
Continue to Part II
