apollinaris

it’s not easy to outsmart Mozart riding a go-kart with Humphrey Bogart

instead, let’s go to Wal-Mart and look at flowcharts with Dale Bernhardt

don’t give your ribosome to a wooden gnome in a bio-dome

please go east with a priest eating yeast inside a wildebeest



you can’t compete with pig meat you delete without a downbeat

it’s like i said, you can never upset a clarinet in a luncheonette reciting the alphabet

please await my consumption of a paperweight before i elevate

i truly insist i’m an alchemist coming out of the mist with a christmas list



my rhymes are so ill, and tranquil

like Churchill getting a free refill in Brazil

so don’t take my drill, because i got tha skill

to take a pterodactyl to a Goodwill near a daffodil



cuz this is what i’m all about

i eat my sauerkraut and shout

while you sit on the waterspout

and listen to no doubt at the cookout, before the blackout

like i said, it’s not always easy to devour a trout

like a boy scout climbing a bean sprout



cuz i got dem mad beats for y’all to hear

y’know these flows are fresh, don’t mistake me for shakespeare

don’t be insincere, because i’m hard like a musketeer

i dun bus ya in tha’ headgear, with a chandelier

send y’all flyin’ in tha atmosphere



you assume that i’m using the broom in the stock room to exhume the fumes

then presume your impending doom looms near the tomb in the gloom

but don’t be so sure, or even try to conjure me to use the brochure

because in the end, you know i’ll always endure



you’ll always end up losing more than you gain

please let me explain how i used a train to obtain chow mein in Spain without restrain

while reading Mark Twain, i bursted a vein and got a migraine in my membrane

so i took a plane to the Ukraine

and there i remain

using my fusain to sketch an inclined plane

yknow what i’m sayin?

The line "you can never upset a clarinet in a luncheonette reciting the alphabet" has changed my life. All these years, all these attempts to upset the clarinet - if i had only known that all my attempts were futile about 10 years ago. oh well. and i hope the ukraine, where you remain, is treating you well. :)
