stranger, stop a little while 
rest your weary soul 
the snake is in the grass 
and the jelly is in the roll
seven surly saracens 
survey the sleeping child 
the sentry slumps against his wall 
strangely beguiled
 
samson sleeps so soundly 
as delilah ponders fate 
she should be in st louis 
but it’s getting late
 
 the fox is in the henhouse 
but can’t find what he seeks 
jezebel stole the jacuzzi 
and now the roof leaks
king solomon has sailed away 
upon his golden throne 
his dreams are strangely humble 
but they are his alone
 
 
thank you, kind stranger 
for sharing your philosophy 
not of how things have always been 
but how they ought to be 
 
  next
