Homemade Mummy |
| How to make a homemade mummy: |
| Get a corpse, get gauze, get comfy |
| Shampoo and disinfect dead fluffy |
| For the hallowed excavation of his X-marked tummy |
| Stem to stern, the butter cutter beelines well |
| Tongs butterfly the unzipped feline shell |
| We’ll be escorting vital organs |
| With exception of the precious kitten’s heart |
| Into the privacy of separate pickle jars |
| Or mayonnaise or jelly pick a card |
| Shit, pick a part and scissor |
| Stomach, lung, intestine or liver |
| In a world of sanitizers and preservatives forever |
| Brain exterminated through the whiskers *kiss & blow* |
| Ditched, I blank NY alone |
| We usher in the salts that call the husk home |
| Might embalm and stiffen and rid the fawn of all his liquids |
| Slather it in beeswax, wrap it up in ribbons |
| Like limb by limb, by tail, by ear, by chin |
| Within the hereafter I hereby win |
| I hope you vow to meow another day and never |
| Decompose, by the way before we seal these molds |
| The short version goes… |
| Take the brain out, leave the heart in |
| Take the brain out, leave the heart in |
| Paper playgrounds, meager harvest |
| Take the brain out… |
| Gadzooks, punk’s dead, last good gut wrenched |
| Antennae sam cook, black book pushead |
| Cat skulls stacked to the black hole sunset |
| Olive on a toothpick, Dagwood Bumstead |
| Tagged-hoof hatchery, matter amass naturally |
| Bad wolf, dash for the last rook castling |
| Blue ox, red plaid bass pro flannel king |
| Hasbro crown, sour apple Abba-Zabba tooth |
| In poorly taken pictures antiquating on his mantelpiece |
| Before we only spoke in letters cut from magazines |
| Folk broke bear claws over gross coffee |
| Not as milquetoast men, as los muertos walking |
| Ergo the scarecrow in rare barley |
| Squared-off harpy to armchair: say a prayer for me |
| I feel that mystifying times have gotten ugly |
| I also feel that you could learn a lot from a mummy |
| Take the brain out, leave the heart in |
| Take the brain out, leave the heart in |
| Major take down, eat your porridge |
| Take the brain out, leave the carcass |
| Take the brain out, leave the heart in |
| Take the brain out, leave the heart in |
| Games to rain out, pleas to bargain |
| Take the brain out, wreathed in garlic |
| Take the brain out, leave the heart in |
| Take the brain out, leave the heart in |
| Fading halos, feeding herpes |
| Take the brain out, eager starlets |
| Take the brain out, leave the heart in |
| Take the brain out, leave the heart in |
| Take the brain out, leave the heart in |
| Take the brain out… |
