screws missing didn't know better
shears were out lambs were in
it didn't matter who did the cutting
must be some editor out to clip my wings
it's not sheer delight
it's shear disaster
the wags nag their tales
frowning disappointing pun
frowning disappointing pun
i know they laugh
i feel it bubble beneath the surface
now they're bored and want a change
how those wags wiggle
latex notwithstanding
without uniform or sense of mind
kilter gone off stream
reading bats for buggered boodles
made up birds for buggled bikes
it doesn't tone the laughing
reading on the fritz
it always leaves them gasping
like tadpole bait in a fishpond
but completely different
with a napsack paddywack give a dog a bone
but unique, without plagiarism
plagiarism
sometimes you don't even know when you do it
or even why
it takes the fun out of everything
like political correctness
class beyond repair
how can you keep track
just take life in lear
never know where allusions go
pest control and liverware
wonder the connection
it's always a wildcat affair
you never know where
the peaceables give up at dawn
should they go on?
checking the awnings
they always make the first bet
check the peaches
they always talk about food
check the lambs, but not too long
they're always getting sheared
it's no shear delight for them
it's no sheer delight for you
who does the cutting
