Goddesses, so pit-eyed,
A man, name of Ed – a jewel lie –
Remade tar apes in Eden.
I saw two.
Help! Pa’s mad!
…
Anon a monk said:
“Ed – a feet-up1 man – was animals’ mu2 in arcane poem:
On green, evilly dine dragons,
Till an ill-aimed demand –
‘Oscillate, my menacer, in a man’
– is made.“
…
No…..!
Now sin is won, one dams in a man.
I re-cane my metallic sod named Demi.
All in all it’s no garden idyll
….
I veneer gnome,
Open a cranium,
Slam in a sawn amputee.
…
Faded, I ask no man, on Adam’s apple,
How ’twas in Eden I separated a mere
Ill ewe,
Jade foe,
Manna-made yeti,
Possessed dog.
…
