Poem for January 3rd
Why is it every city has a broadway
And a main street
But so few have better drive
Or a learning crescent?
Maybe we need to get more literal in our daily lives
Maybe we need to start calling people by body organs...
A better example of of what they are than interchangeable names
The bums won't mind, they've been called that most of their lives
Doctors can become hands
Teachers might like wrists
Architects will be thighs
And mothers the hips
Police will be the eyes
And politicians the lips
We'll give the poets the heart
And all the others syphillis
Why is it every city has a broadway
And a main street
But so few have better drive
Or a learning crescent?
Maybe we need to get more literal in our daily lives
Maybe we need to start calling people by body organs...
A better example of of what they are than interchangeable names
The bums won't mind, they've been called that most of their lives
Doctors can become hands
Teachers might like wrists
Architects will be thighs
And mothers the hips
Police will be the eyes
And politicians the lips
We'll give the poets the heart
And all the others syphillis
