– In Argentina,
a pool-shooting Oriental
inscrutably pockets
the eight ball,
then orders chicken cacciatori
with a German accent.
– Moral:
don’t climb Mt. Everest,
unless it’s there.

– Mack burro,
at 5 a.m.,
on the shoulder of the road…
5,000 kilometers
without a check-up,
30 gallons of white burden,,
for the brown man…
– Trot on,
burro heaven can’t be
that far off
from burro hell,
and if not,
there’s always
Rafael Nader.

– Gross National Product,
I love you!
– My heart beats
one tenth of one percent faster,
when I think of you…
I pledge my stocks, my bonds,
my horsepower, my chrome,,,
keep going up! and up! and up!
you are so… gross!
– I’ll keep my smokestacks smoking,
for you,
my exhaust exhausting
for you…
carbon monoxide, lead,
sulphur dioxide,
nothing is too good, for you…
– I know a backward lake
still with clear waters,
that just sits there,,,
what a waste! when we can give it
some phosphates…
– Please! Get grosser & grosser,
as your index gives me purpose…
I would gladly sacrifice
a fiscal year of my life, for you…
– Give me more! more! more!
overtime! triple time,
production…
You must grow! grow! grow!
– Long live our rich nation!

– Glass onion,
Pyrex tears…
– Ticket to ride
'round & 'round
on life's carousel…
– All you need is love,
that's, almost all…
– Strawberry fields forever,
as long as we remember…
– Waiting for you to get back,
while my guitar gently weeps…
– All things must pass,
or you're in trouble!…
– Wild life:
it's a jungle out there,
within…
– In the town where I was born,
lived a man
who wore nothing under his raincoat.
