Hailing a Taxidermist in Moscow

Tommy Hayfield
I was looking for a taxidermist,
I was late for my appointment
to see a stuffer
about posing stuff...

My approaching plane wasn't there
so I went for a ride
with Marilu Henner and Jodie Foster on my mind...

I had stuffing on my mind
because I wasn't an expert on stuff...

DeVito wasn't the driver and neither was DeNiro,
but it was a potential dreamscape of the future

I didn't fear danger as I approached Red Square:
the center attraction of the country
of the dancing bears...

I knew the now anxious plane would be patient
as my dream ride through mysterious Russia played on...

with nothing but my wide eyes
I pondered the towering onion domes

like a frozen picture of the ages
wrapped in a charming yet distant language...

Who could resist one more look at history missed...

Without a guide I went on a taxidermy hunt
to find an unaided hint to the mystery of the mystery...
