RED AND BLUE, PINK SUE

                          Une Chanson Chantez aux Cafés

Pentametre et Iambique

By Izzy Ess of Colourless

Selecting blue, Suzanne injected veins

With latex, while she used a red latex

For four core arteries.  Phylacteries

Were painted leather black and Jack refused

To look.  The book on painting did not show a beau

Or old chateau chapeaux.  Suffice to say,

In Hudson’s Bay, Suz boozed it up with Jack

And got undressed.  Jack followed suit but left

His boots unbuckled.  Suckling watermelon

Stew, Sue chewed the yellow berries while

Her Jack Macmacintosh attacked the critics

Critical remarks by throwing darts

At pictures of the tacky, whacky slackers,

While Sue and he entwined and dined on pine

Nuts and the maple syrup pancakes that

Were made for them on Blue Lagoon.  Cartoons

On the balloons were floated up to Heaven

And returned God Blessed and glowing red.

The black and blue reminders were distributed

In corridors by matadors to all

The drawers in Disneyland.  This poem is getting

Much too long to sing a song and end

It with a rhyming couplet, but here goes:

Suzanne and Jack packed all their bags while hags

Professed to know it all and offered gags

About poetic tags that lag behind

The wags of yesteryear and bind the kind

Of thinking that is circular in type

To supplement a writer’s happy hype.

Suffice to say, in Hudson’s Bay, Suzanne

And Mack abandoned Jack Orangutan

Imposing such a ban on Taliban,

That Jack hacked up his Mac in Pakistan.

Mack dumped Ms. Sue, the cagey kangaroo,

In Waterloo, where everything is painted blue.

THE END

Thank God.  Amen!  It’s Glenn Ben Sven,

THE SON OF SYLVER

SILVER-MEN, AGAIN.
