A journey through night
With Apollo as my guide
To heaven's wonder
To heaven's wonder
from earth's reedy bays flew
the geese again home
The geese again home
In on the well watered lawns
Stretching to the stream.
Stretching to the stream
the shoreline leans lazily
against its lover
Against its lover
The peacock flapped angrily,
Bright feathers ruffled.
Bright feathers ruffled
Like those of any true male
Whose pride has been hurt
Whose pride has been hurt
When your spouse forgets to
Fill the guests' glasses?
Fill the guests' glasses?
Why can't they do that themselves?
Hosts can set limits
Hosts can set limits
But many guests overstep
Them, getting tiddly.
Them, getting tiddly
Using my wine to do it
Bunch of nervy drunks!
Bunch of nervy drunks
Came to my door, rang the bell -
I sent them packing.
I sent them packing
And even threw books at them,
Not that they could read
Not that they could read,
Those bookworms eating all my
Mark Twain collection.
Mark Twain collection
Of witty aphorisms
Really sparked my style
Really sparked my style,
Wearing a mauve paper hat
With lemon raincoat.
Really sparked my style,
said Marvel, commenting on
her new sequined shoes.
With 'Lemon Raincoat'
Goes 'Orange Pumps' in the range
'Teach Clothes Acceptance.'
'Teach Clothes Acceptance',
Nude University class,
filled up right away.
Filled up right away
Is the auditorium:
All wait for giants.
