Excuse me while I curl my quiff.
I’m neither flaccid, nor stiff,
but stuck in Limbo with a Cricket.
–
This Cricket leapt up with a giddy delight:
“Hey, you wanna’ fight?”
And I’m like:
“You’re a cricket, right?”
Right.
–
The Looking Glass became
Pint Sized.
And in my mind’s eye
not even time flies.
Fine.
–
While graciously salacious
this Cricket may be,
I think it’s rather silly.
–
It is quite
the task
to stay
behind
this mask.
They say we’ve all
gone mad here,
and that’s that!
