Freakcity

Amusing poem with hidden depth

i am cyan, and beans are green Jon Stable [email protected]

i am cyan, and beans are green,

and we all live in

a yellow submarine.

my shoe’s blue, and you are too,

cats in raincoats

sniffing glue.

if you look in the book

when the pawn takes rook,

retaliate to check mate

because goldfish can’t cook...

and yes i know,

that i am yellow,

but i have to go-

gotta work tomorrow.

so can i borrow your grey volvo please?

turqoise porpoise, night is white,

the lampshade she knows

that she is right.

the turtle’s purple, and May is gray,

the fridge told me a secret

the telephone is gay.

but if we were a tree,

what would we see?

i hate to delineate

and the carpet agrees...

and yes i’m aware

that we haven’t a prayer, but i dont care

if they just stare.

so can i wear your purple flares please?

please? please? please? please? please? please?

thankyou.
