emu's turn to cry

Post by constantine » July 10th, 2008, 10:13 am

how does it feel emu
you bandy legged terrabird
you ain't guano
struttin around like ostrich
excuse me, but
ostrich you are not
we've been through this before
first it was rhea
then cassowary
now ostrich
suffice it to say
you are running out of
terrabirds to emulate
(yuk yuk)
your behavior is tiresome
there's no law against it
but then you laid it fast
and heavy on the vivacious
and diminutive kiwi
kiwi of my heart
kiwi my love
and this i will not forgive
if an accident should happen
if kiwi is hit by a bolt of lightning
then there are emus in this room
that i will not forgive
but aside from that
i am willing to overlook
your flightless indiscretions
why?
emu, i thought you'd never ask
check it out emu
dig on this
kiwi
the voluptuous and diminutive
kiwi
is perched on my shoulder
even as we beak
it's a terrabird coop d'etat
check and mate
sort of knocks you off
your bandy legged pins
doesn't it big bird
how does it feel emu
emu's turn to cry
