Suspended Animation De Rigueur Among "Joe King" Six Pack

rew4er2nail

Yepper, once body functions cease

asper this ole codger,

mere seconds after expiration,

sans existential lease

immortality avails rubbery piece

of flesh christened

Matthew Scott Harris,

the legal mouthpiece

decreed by living will

after organ activity doth cease

immediate measures taken

courtesy Doctor Demento to decrease

any further senescence

till heartening no brainer

preserves jellied rolled masterpiece

wordsmith, meanwhile, I can sublease

these bag of bloodless love bones

done deal, all yours for trifle bro

pittance costing no more

than one Pinocchio

plying attached strings,

yea kinda like ma's yoyo

mine limp fingers needed to pull

performing fetes resembling

dead spindleshanks daddy longfellow

all the while appearing as cheap trick

courtesy super tramping marionette...lo

taking me across world wide web,

where yours truly housed in Tokyo

hotel, never tiring globe trotting

performing one man deadened show

after earning so much dough...

necessity will arise to call tow

truck (mebbe more'n one),

when after bajillion years

would utter whoa

abundant flush with moolah,

a sought after Joe Schmoe

earning hand over rigor mortis fist

pile of money that doth grow

by leaps and bounds - hiho

exceeding penury, when struggling as poet

Cain and Abel to silence

those opposed to Roe

versus Wade, incumbent upon minor woe

awaiting future technology so

rejuvenating lifeless chap easily

mistaken for tindered scarecrow

can carry on camping y'know

whaddya mean...

not to leave ye in suspense

but gotta join grateful dead, and gotta go

Adieu!
