A Square Bowl of Colored Marbles
©May 6th 2019, Olan L. Smith
Strangest thing, man, I fell and hit
My head on the privy, out of control,
Whales flounder about, rolly-polly-olie.
I dropped all my marbles in the rinse
Had to polish them, though. Around they went,
The pale-blue marble, too, down into the other
Realm, bizarre I say. A round bowl is now square
Who'd dare say, black is white and round
Is square, gal-pal! Holy moly, balls' in a vise,
I feel the fool, my head's in the whirlpool,
All distorted like a cartoon character;
Crap is all around, catch a whiff, can't you
See, it ain't right. We've all gone insane
In a square bowl of colored marbles,
Oddball leaders their tail's a wagging,
We're caught in a vortex, who'll un-flush?
