Making fools of us,
The interviewers sit round
Like brooding vultures.
Like brooding vultures
The hoodies group, but can be
Scattered by buzzers
Scattered by buzzers,
The hungry starlings gather
Anew on the oaks.
Anew on the oaks
Acorns once more start to form.
A sign of new life.
A sign of new life
Terrified twelve-year old Jane
'I can't be pregnant!'
I can't be pregnant
Because I am wrong gender!
Doctor, check again.
Doctor, check again!
I'm sure that red liquid is
Just raspberry juice.
Just raspberry juice
Vodka, and a spash of lime
It's quite refreshing
It's quite refreshing
To take off all one's clothes and
Sit in the birdbath.
"Sit in the birdbath,"
she said. "The rubber duckies
are back from their flight."
______________
Are back from their flight,
Yoda and his friends I think,
Collect them we can.
Collect them as we can,
those wings of fleas with knobby
knees, needing sports sox.
Knees needing sports socks,
Elbows needing evening gloves.
I am an odd shape!
I am an odd shape
Children stare at me often:
Melon with a face
Melon with a face:
Look, is it Richard Nixon?
or Ronald Reagan?

Alone, but joined in Wholly
Matrimony - help!
Matrimony - help!
I need a divorce lawyer
Before I kill him!
Before I kill him,
Would you like a few words with
My errant husband?
My errant husband
Deserves a kick in the pants
With pointed spiked shoes
