The Dzmc Apocrypha 22

snazzy jack is
back on track and rarin'
to account, astride his trusty
mount (actually a pogo
stick with a really
slick bouncing stripe). snazzy

jack came into town
to steal a paisley wedding gown from
witnesses so blind they
would not see
the sights, such as herds
of leaping lords in
burlap shirts and tights. and
all the while, with a
smile, snazzy jack strolled
down the street, with his
cocaine hat and bubblegum shoes on
display for all to note. he waved
a slab of meat to signal
his intent to someday soon invent
a way to misplace
the blues.

snazzy jack for president, yelled
a nearby resident. snazzy
jack declined, having other matters
that had to do with platters on
his underanxious mind.
