My Three Favorite Poems: Steal This Poem, The Poet Cookbook, and The Poet Manifesto
Wouldn’t it be great if life were free? Kind of like when you were two or three But no, life is real So if you desire, you must steal Surviving on zero cash Milking “hot” wood for all its ash It’s about sleeping in other people’s cars And getting “house” drinks at all the bars What can I do with bleach and soap? Nothing, tell you read this book, you dope I wanna throw a monkey wrench in The Machine! Use the book wrongly and you’ll have no spleen Take ½ a cup rebel and 1 teaspoon of being insane Throw in a splash of the 70’s for some real pain Let’s try to deface The Man Plus it’s good reading for The Can Gimme gimme the color red We’re all equal, might as well be dead Solute everything Soviet and be a drone With blond hair and blue eyes, you should be a clone I want my yellow sickle and hammer About the first women dictator, damn her! Do as Mr. Marx said to And with red stars you will make do |
