IV. Giraffes Roamed the Sulfur Sands
through desert and sun
giraffes roamed the sulfur sands
a city made of gold
gave refuge to the jaundiced
beyond amber gates
bees made honey from
the pollen of daffodils
& sunflowers
the little chicks were dancing in the sunshine
lunch upon the gilded tray
began with bananas
& lemons &
slices of pineapple
the main course was turmeric chicken
with a choice of butter
margarine
cheese or
mustard
the sides were corn & squash
finally came custard
made from the yolk of canaries
the topaz sparkled
in the hands of the blonde queen as
trumpets announced the flow of urine
