The Woven Intricacies of a Fathom:

If Wednesdays were purple

 would workmen surrender

And garnish their pizzas

with leather suspenders?

And should there be ketchup

among the wildflowers

Would Sally come hither

and dance on the towers?

Corkscrews and binders

combined with spaghetti

Make noodle spumoni

So you better get ready.

In truth dogs read novels

and smoke from a hookah

But Wednesdays are special

So don't call me a kookah.
