Some Day Over the Rainbow


The sun rose cockeyed today.


Crows fly backwards in a misplaced sky.


The limbs of trees cut the tune into ¾ time.


Cord wood has been maliciously maligned.


There is no rhyme to reason to end the line.


Two plus two no longer add up to four.


Upside down, all the windows and doors.


The rancher changed course and was


quartered by the horse. Topsy turvy the


mince meat pie. The season to end all reason


was chosen by the malfeasant conductor


of the Late Late Show. Gothic became


agnostic during the mid-term and no one


could explain. Glue lost its bond and


refused to hold on. You and I have not a


clue as to why things are the way they are.


The podiatrist awoke one morning denying


the existence of toes. Pass the mustard, my


reasoning is half-baked. The magistrate misplaced


his car keys and his whole day went to hell in a


hand basket. You ordered pastrami and discovered


too late that the butcher gave you corned beef


instead. It was then you realized you got up


club-footed on the wrong side of the bed.


There are no do-overs, my friend. Live with it!


After the Reformation nothing was ever the


same again. It’s no wonder old men tend to


succumb to incontinence. Here, pull my finger.
