That Stupid Doxology Thing

you should always show other people your post-it note
it's like a spontaneous snapshot into people’s brains

I mean I'm going bald for Chrissakes but
People who make scrapbooks do not
have sex organs like you and me

the world would be a better place if people
with low IQs were not allowed to reproduce

I’ve got a flap on the inside of my wallet
where I slap a PostIt Note any time

My ocean squid with bonus ink
squirting hawaiian beach sand
came on a rather long plate with
just-resilient-enough octopus
in an oversize goblet

To even the blindest apologist for the silly
if monstrous construct Ali
boxed and Sandy Koufax pitched and
Pierce Brosnan (he likened homosexuality
to slavery) may not do another Bond film
yet I think Joan Houlihan and I
are on the same page spiritually

In 1974 she did a book for young adults
called The Cat Ate My Gymsuit

No one ever said you had to have the mind
of a nuclear physicist to reveal that
she had only post it notes covering her privates

My first reaction was, 'oh, come on,'
but it turned out well
So shout out to my
"Social Software
In the Academy" homies

they stole all our good names like Lance
and Julian and now they’re stealing our cool words
but I only got some shower caddies and a strainer
and post-its and a dishes scrubber

My question is just how much brain power
does it take paint your house
like their penguin counterparts?

Try re-arranging post-its to form
rough groups of "near-futures"

Here are MY suggestions
blahblah blah blah blah

were the people who liked "Carry On
Wayward Son" your friends?
Well we need to rewrite that
stupid doxology thing
because for many Americans
French mustard IS Americana
