Semi-Automatic Egg-Laying Mammal of Action

Muriel Mackie

a poem by Muriel Mackie, Freshman Marketing Major

 

Little orange-slice Spiderman feet,

Slapping flappy rhythms down dead-end streets.

Got them flip-down shades on coolio?

Both track sides you rulio.

Hey man, don’t want no trouble

From Aussie’s baddest

Raddest

Sickest

Slickest

Slim-shakin’

Earth quakin’

Low-rent

Time-spent

Double-bent

Tashkent

Corn eatin’

Sign speedin’

Rip-snortin’

Prawn portin’

Carpoolin’

Moon shootin’

Yuletidin’

Wave ridin’

God abidin’

Snitch shootin’

Xerox

Whoopin’ cough

Ypsilanti

Vigilante

From the steepest part of the

Darkest hole in Mariana’s coarser cousins

Crack ‘o the deep.

Step back little buddy, I got ID,

Best regards to the family.

So, tell your folks that I says hi,

Now steady them flippers ‘fore I puke pad thai.
