No Hobos Aboard
It's time to go downstairs and bring joy to
a blow to the head, for example...the brain
echoes against the walls and the tentacle snaps
by finding my parents. Learning my "human" name
of what seem like statues, of men and women,
the motley array of intergalactic pirates fall silent.
Red, white and blue bunting around the perimeter of
TIK TOK's legs are too short! his body too heavy!
Let's see what this piece of junk can do. Ready, everybody?
A major traffic jam on this one-way street caused by two
clustered ORNAMENTS of every description; ornaments
finally getting close enough to zap him with an electric charge;
the ones you left helpless, at home, so you could dress up
a helpless old woman in a cage - rolls by, drawn by gleeful
aerial battle fireworks out the window and on the viewscreens
to escape from the humiliation of her present state.
