all the s’ers sing
all the s’ers sing
all the s’ers are lovely, 1
all the s’ers are raw, 2
the s’ers are called berries, 3
naked faces, bare skin courage, naked flaws. 4
what s’er stra’b’ry sang: 5
i am brass strumpet, 6
i am looney toons, 7
i blow an ass trumpet 8
to wake the dormouse in the moon. 9
what s’er rass’b’ry sang: 10
when the king crocodile 11
of the upper white nile 12
went out to survey his dominion 13
he was bent on discovering 14
the origin of sackcloth covering 15
the sky monthly with breast fed opinions. 16
