Kit Kelen #969 - classical


969
classical


when I was a woolly satyr
and sidle up to sing
pipes and bells and lyres you bet
I was a one-man goat
and got the girls all going

woolly in my ways
and woolly underneath
woolly in my head
and wool between my teeth

love! you could bottle the stuff
ship it off in amphorae
we'd get juiced up
and do a dance around the pot
a tree – and I'd be maypole
what a pong!

allow some drunken slump here

yes I was woolly in my ways
and woolly underneath
woolly in my head
little curls between my teeth

but that was my forever
sad since I am come to marble
colour went, shaggy locks
and skin all froze
nothing to tickle at all

worn away face
and fair enough
a nose goes first
...find me a figleaf would ya

not a double negative to say
you can't get nothing up

who wins
once modesty kicks in?

the soul is lost
in stone
