he’s in show business,
shrew business,
buy-concrete-shoe business —
give him the ol’ college boot!
show him the door,
right through the floor,
give him what for!
the ol’ hook for an ol’ crook.
tootle-oo, caribou!
what a hoot.
reality? reel this!
feel this!
no, he can’t be
the unscripted master,
the best boy
and the beast boy
of the country, too.
doesn’t he have a job already?
maybe he needs something more steady,
day work, voiceover,
sag clauses,
common causes, all over,
with promise of an oscar-do.
(he can quit/be fired from his day employment.
that would provide most enjoyment. an “r” rating.)
watergating waterloo.
oh what to do?
ask caroline.
she’d be just fine
with a key grip
on this psycho-drama-flipgyp.
this slough of despond business,
slew business,
caribou-enemy stew business,
full of slow sorrow,
matinee and no tomorrow,
angel investment zero,
no hero, only anti-, villain, loser,
with low crow dough
and owe foe abuser,
byblow, outthrow, mudflow,
non-amuser, electro, jocko,
basto, clownmo, solo
shadow, chumo,
minnow, hollow, bunko,
crappo, schmo, faucet d’eau,
all show and must go,
repo, we po,
he life show-stripper
and stopper big whopper.
