Eating garlic
Eating earthworms
Earthworms attached to fish hooks
Earthworms torn in two
Two lost daughters
Too close to home
Home of the sad sacks
Home is calling
Calling all expatriates
Calling you ooh ooh ooh
Ooh I am so hungry
Ooh I’ve lost my mind
Mind your fitful manners
Mind your business, Crabby
Crabby people irritate
Crabby is as crabby does
Does your hair fall out
Does your breath smell bad
Bad pols get elected
Bad children go to Hell
Hell is lacking ice cream
Hell is made from dog poops
Poops in my front yard
Poops the dog did not pick up
Up the down escalator
Upward fly the bluebirds
Bluebirds nest in peach trees
Bluebirds croon at twilight
Twilight spreads its tendrils
Twilight is the death of day
Day dreams of bygone times
Days turn into night
Night of endless desires
Night belongs to ogres
Ogres in your attic
Ogres with pointy teeth
Teeth require flossing
Teeth get stained dark yellow
Yellow pigmentation
Yellow like my heart
Hart, Schaffner, and Marx
Heart for dark adventure
Adventure in Antartica
Adventure for muscular birds
Birds with damaged wings
Birds sing winsome songs
Songs of the Marzipan
Songs of pain and sorrow
Sorrow
Marzipan
