giraffes tell tall tales

they say nonsense is a genre
like sleep-walking in Manhattan
or tickling the ivories
with a feather-duster
to hard rock or Slam
relax with hot chocolate
in a marble bath filled with green tea
use the pristine soap bubbles
to decorate your plastic plants
they don't need watering
and ice cubes only melt
but pebbles in vodka on the rocks
just bring quicker inebriation
sweet Freudian dreams
of wood-peckers flying high
pouncing like rabbits on their prey
pickles and other condiments
on pick-nick tables in the park...
