Royal Jelly

Mailboxes drip like lampposts in the twisted birth canal of the coliseum
 Rim job fairy teapots mask the temper tantrum
 O' say can you see 'em
 Stuffed cabbage is the darling of the Laundromat
 'N the sorority mascot sat with the lumberjack
 Pressing passing stinging half synthetic fabrication of his-- Time
 The mouse with the overbite explained how the rabbits were ensnared
 'N the skinny scanty sylph trashed the apothecary diplomat
 Inside the three-eyed monkey within inches of his toaster oven life
 In my mind
 I'm half blind
 My inner ref
 Is mostly deaf
 I'm smell impaired
 If you cared
 My sense of taste is wasted on the phosphorescent orange peels of San Francisco axe-encrusted frenzy
 So let me touch you
 Let me touch you
 Let me touch you
 Let me touch you
 Where the Ro-yal Jelly gets made
 Coleratura singers bringing weeds and social clingers
 Hangers-on and fancy flingers
 To the dress ball
 Mushrooms and bowling pins
 Stove pipe hats and other things I can't recall
 From Juvenile hall
 We're so unlucky and stuff
 Woodrow Wilson never had it so tough
 Dairy Queen and Vaseline and Maybelline
 Paul Bunyan and James Dean
 Allegory agencies of pre-Raphaelite paganry
 And Shenandoah tapestries
 Compared with good mahogany
 Collapsing the undying postcard romance
 With feline perspicacity
 By the university
 That night I held a paucity
 Which you deemed common courtesy
 I wasn't what you thought I'd be
 I shouldn't have invited you to dance
 In my tree
 I'm halfway free
 And in my chair
 One quarter there
 In my dream
 One-sixteenth cream
 In the coffee of the Courtier
 Of the sycophant assistant to the king
 So let me touch you
 Let me touch you
 Let me touch you
 Let me touch you
 Where the Ro----yal Jelly gets made
