THE RHYMING GAME

[Walter Oobleck]

He said, " You still don't get it.. you belong to me, your mere existence. I own your soul"

I closed my eyes, not knowing what to say.. not knowing what to do...

King picked me up, threw me over his shoulder, said what you need is some hooptedoodle, not to put too fine a point on it, some hullabaloo
then he walked outside into the back yard, stopped by the well cover and flipped it up before dropping me inside.

It was a bottomless well, oh what a ride,

Alternate Universe dudes look weird...

one had an orange nose above a multi-colored beard
another had a mouth on the top of his head, big pearly white teeth

one had an orange nose above a multi-colored beard
another had a mouth on the top of his head, big pearly white teeth

Yet another had a second head, that of Jasmine Bleeth,

There were monsters grazing in the grass...

 

[Walter Oobleck]

but these weren't ungulates selecting clover, one dozed up a coffin with handles of brass
another ripped into the side with a saw-toothed horn, a third rooted out a thigh bone both ends cut clean through

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

I began to notice, I wasn't falling at all, but drifting through time and dimensions.. and then I knew..

I'm not one person, none of this is real, I am Mr King's imagination...

I began to notice, I wasn't falling at all, but drifting through time and dimensions.. and then I knew..

I'm not one person, none of this is real, I am Mr King's imagination...

there were fresh-poppin' ideas, a surrealist landscape, time was irrelevant, all was conglomeration
like time-lapse photography on fast-forward things took shape and like a reverse waterfall...

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

I closed my eyes, and when I opened them I bounced back up, like a kids ball.

With a new found sense of purpose , I told Mr King, " Let's rock and roll"

 

[Walter Oobleck]

He didn't answer, turned his back on me and in a gunslinger strut, walked away, we were on a stroll,
or maybe he was checking his trap-line and I was simply following.

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

He picked up a notebook and showed me all the blank pages.. he sat down and as he began writing,

I felt that strange sensation again... I was falling into a thick fog, and just when I thought it would never end I found myself walking through a desert.

Even so, I heard the sound of a door closing behind me, bewildered again, a sense of disconcert,
faintly, as if the speaker was turning away, I heard someone say, door closed...

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

I turned and looked, and standing right in the middle of the desert was a door, superimposed.

Then I heard something behind me , turned and looked, there stood a telephone booth with two excellent dudes inside...

 

[Walter Oobleck]

Gertrude & Heathcliff? no...Mutt & Jeff? no...I climbed up on the shoulders of my Russian bride
from this vantage point, imagine my long-anticipated glee!

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

That is , at least, until I felt the urge to pee.

So with the free standing door to my right, the excellent dudes in the phone booth to my left, and a wet Russian bride below.. I decide to look up

A flying Coke machine skirting the white-covered branches of a big pink pine tree where a piping plover had a nest buildup
the slot opened on the machine and she began to drop Timex watches, microwave ovens, and a parla piano.

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

So now the task set before me, I had to choose which way to go.

I heard a faint knocking.. so I went to the door, it was the old woman and the Billy Bumbler named Oy

I stood there gawking from bumbler to woman 'til the old woman said stop that, we're not with the Bolshoi
and with that she turned and began walking, the bumbler looked once before turning abruptly and following.

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

I ran for the door before it closed, and as I stepped inside I could hear them hollering.

Too late to turn back as the door shut abruptly , and when it opened again I was in a senior prom scene.

there was Justeen, Charlene, Eugene & Feldene, Noreen & Nuveen & Papa Wileen with Maxine and her tambourine
while behind me a Plymouth Fury braked to a halt the front end dipping down

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

I ran as fast as I could but my heels were slowing me down.. I kicked them off in the middle of town!

Heels? I looked down and I was wearing a prom dress.. I felt there too and yes, I had breasts!
