like cloth clings to the clown,

who drenched himself

with designer holy water

just to bring the entire house

down."

in gowns of gabardine,

showing off our ignorance

so willing to be seen."

in the fertile field

of the friendly farmer's

when you don't give information,

at others you do when you do.

desguised as lawyers and other liars

behind stripes at the Zoo."

"Afterall,

a Zeba is naught but a striped ass
