Whimsy

There is a band on stage
called Intergalactic Space Raiders
They have just rhymed famous with anus.

On Sunday, a man who looked
like you squashed down, sang
about whether he could be loved

if he were a dinosaur baby,
or a vampire dog,
or a lizard bear.

I was not pleased by
this display of whimsy -
he had a stupid face

a dirging voice -
he messed up the dinosaur song
and pleaded for encores.

do not think me cruel
if I imagined stretching him up
until he was better.
