Knickety-backety

(Skrivet 2008-07-06 klockan 12.48 till cirka 2012-01.)

Ryske tsaren i fångenskap hos revolutionärerna
trivdes bäst med att gräva diken i trädgården.

Knickety-backety
Knickety-backety
Gong, gong, gong

Knickety-backety
Knickety-backety
Gong, gong, gong

Alla sorters väder
Knickety-back gong gong
Alla stora städer
Knickety-back gong gong

Knickety-back
hej hopp
hej hopp
Knickety-back
galopp
galopp
Först i plurr
och tuppen ja
får Knickety-back se opp

*

Knickety-back i ensamskog
Knickety-back marscherar
Knickety-back när skogen dog
älgarna defilerar

Hux och flux och kors och tvärs
när Knickety-back panikar
Lyx och flax och nix revers
när Knickety står och dikar

*

Knickety-backety
Knickety-backety
Gong, gong, gong

Knickety-backety
Knickety-backety
Gong, gong, gong

Alla sorters diken
Knickety-back gong gong
Alla stora riken
Knickety-back gong gong

Knickety-back
hej hå
hej hå
Knickety-back
låt stå
låt stå
först i mål
med glatt hurra
får Knickety-back se på

My Outer Sphere

(February 6, 2012, Monday, 7.25 PM - 7.42 PM, slumbering on bus going home from work.)

Now, forget Chris Barber
We´re tryin´ so much harder
Now, forget Chris Barber
We´re tryin´ so much harder

Be-bop Chimes
With the Saran Wrap
Be-bop Chimes
With the Saran Wrap

Get out of that chair
get across that gap
Single devotees
a great mishap
...

Toby!
Toby won´t you walk me slowly
we watch the ages of the holy
We need assurance from the lonely
...

The Saran Wrap
up beyond the gap
The Saran Wrap
knows where bitches slap

Slap, slap
lollipop
with young white men
in Corduroy
hip and hop
up to the top
with the winter clothes
on our lonely boy
...

Now, Saran Wrap
why give me a call?
Saran, why did you
care at all?

glimpses of Rita
and the Chris Barber glimpse
Glances on dances
and those wimps
and those pimps

Lady Lorney, hey
you gave me a call
Lady Lorney, you
know I´m six foot tall

If Chris Barber collides
with my outer sphere
you can bless me and carry me
out of here


(Comments: You can´t go to the supermarket in Sweden and buy Saran Wrap. Instead you ask for GladPack.
Probably you should write ”bebop” instead of ”be-bop”, but this poem demands ”be-bop”.)
