The King of Goofs

Writer's picture: Darkling ThrushesDarkling Thrushes

Hear ye, hear ye!  The King of Goofs doth come, 

To do battle with the enemies of the Antichrist. 

I live at Lion’s Gate, and I was trying to go home, 

Until I saw the keys to the UFO; I swallowed them whole. 

 

I feel like GI Joe, it must have been the carrot-stew, 

That bubbled and boiled as I slurped it down. 

My friends don’t call, but if they did, they’d call me 

Retarded, because I don’t answer the phone. 

 

I went out in autumn and was amazed, 

To find a leaf had fallen and caught itself, 

In the eves, it reminded me that Carrie Fisher, 

Was once a Princess of a high kingdom. 

 

The king used to give speeches in his heyday, 

It was something obscure about eating veggies. 

He was caught in a feedback-loop, methinks, 

But the White Whale swallowed him whole.
