Midnight Snack
by Frank Niebaum

All the summer dumplings want to eat me alive,
I get a hostile greeting even before I arrive!
Oh me oh my, I’ve pissed off the pie!
What an unfortunate fate!
Why’d I have to delve into the custard so late?

Now my gentle dreamland has been turned all amiss,
Not a single baby here to give me a kiss!
No hills made of quilts, no drummers on stilts,
My dreamscape has gone all wrong!
Goodbye to Brahms and hello to this Zydeco song!

Moon, my friend, oh what I’d give to see your wide smile,
Every cake I bite into is filled with a file!
No cow up there jumping, the breastmilk is pumping,
The little dog’s barfing up crack!
The spoon is gone, the plate is having a heart attack!

Why’d I have to eat those dozen Cadbury eggs?
Why not leave the chocolate bunny, or at least his legs?
That damn midnight snack that I wish I had back,
Oh please dear God let me wake!
At least get these sheep to rehab, for goodness sake.

Naomi, I Moan
A slut nixes sex in Tulsa -- "Sex at noon taxes." Evil I did dwell, lewd did I live, Pull up if I pull up!

Bummer
Silent ducks are deafening, Kansas in the crapper. Can you burn an effigy while plugging in the clapper?.

Have You Ever Loved?
Have you ever loved, like the whistling wind of a barn swallow’s nostril-hole?
