'Too Many Poets'

Christmas Camelgirl in the Sand (Cinnamon Churl)


 

 

Key to authors' pseudonyms

hello you old watering can
could you use a hotdog stand
I got directions but no home
lets go downtown and get real stoned
senorita, like a moth
dressed up in a tablecloth
we'll cross the sea and fire away
with shotgun shells til break of day
and some arabian stands and smiles
and wears bandanas in the style

hello trivet in the mist
looks like ya got me by the wrist
after all the padded cells
I was hopin' I'd get well
I've got this ambulance outside
let's climb in back and take a ride
it's not too bad, you could do worse
ya know I useta drive a hearse?
and some arabian engineer
waves to the brakeman "it's all clear"

hello chancel in the mews
does your glebe cow still dig the blues?
no one knows just what this means
least of all my ratty jeans
amazon with shield and sword
I hope that I don't getcha bored
you played upon the pipes of pan
while surfboards blanketed the land
and some arabian Dylan freak
plays A Taste of Honey and Cripple Creek
