WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

Imaginary Garden With Real Toads

It started with Madonna
now it's monkey see
monkey do
follow the formula
it's tried and true

And the law of the jungle
comes down from on high
in 140 characters
each day
(but it's beneath...the planet of the apes)

did u get a bad rap
or are u just a bad rapper?

it's still up to us to decide
what is cultural
and what is just plain crass

and the next Madonna wannabe
is up on your big screen
twerking her ass 
in your face
and somebody is calling it art
and that's what's wrong
with your generation 
right there

when nobody has the stones
to stand up and shout
who choreographs this shit???

we dunno 
but he's putting together
the halftime show for the Super Bowl!

one day
with the world awash in rainbows
our true colors will shine
until then
to go on for a bit
even in the face of
mindless 
primal
mediocrity
seems reasonable

THE DAY AFTER YESTERDAY

Imaginary Garden With Real Toads

How now

brown cow

I want to live

in the NOW.

Yes

I'll live for the moment

that's what I'll do

and blind myself

to all the rest

like Mister Magoo.

Hey, that was a good one...

it just went by so fast

it eluded my grasp.

WHOOSH--there's another!

and another

and another

and another

Now I'm spinning round

snatching wildly at nothing.

HEY-- c'mere ya li'l sumbitches!

How can I know

what living in the moment is like

when the moment is passing me by

in the blink of an eye?

That's an enigma

wrapped in a riddle

topped with a sigh.

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow

all vying for space inside my brain

it's driving me insane

and that is truly a pain

in

the

ASS.

Don't mean to be crass...

but it's making me crazy

think I'll just have to pass

and not think about it anymore.

Yeah, that's the ticket!

I just won't THINK

about it anymore.

I'll just stay quiet

and close my eyes

and get into the lotus position...

Damn!

Gonna have to master

that lotus position

one day...

Well

no time

like the PRESENT...

heh heh

OHM...OHM...
