Knick knack paddy whack
why that jumped
his brain stomped it with hobnailedsteeltoed boots Christ hoped not a Roger
Rabbit Paddy Cake affectation
should have won The Academy Awards Best Picture of the Year
Nope not Roger Rabbit from the wrong side of
the warren
to
be sure
they inhabited less-than-desirable climes as
kids climes more delectable than hoods neighbourhoods
where they had to keep their heads on a swivel try like motherfuckers to be to remain
a step ahead of the shit
prescient nobodys fool
he couldnt speak for the bunny
the mobile hanging in the hallway that was his room womb
tantalised him big beautiful bulging colourful
hot air balloons
seemed mouthwatering fruits begging
begging begging to be plucked from the sky
tempestuous
though out of reachhis arms too short legs too
short torso too short
Knick knack paddy whack
imagined
them piñatasimagined
having
a long length of bendyunruly bamboo that lazily turned in his grip when he
swung
rubberband bendy elastic
pitiful strikes
then he realised itd have to be multiple strikes at
a single place
understood
easier
said than done
patience
had that
persistence
had that
dogged
Fetch sounds demeaning
but when tables turned
as they do they didnt understand didnt
understand rue the day
Fuck rue
he intended to ruin them
theyd
never again congeal never corrupt again
a tall order
unless their legs their arms were cut off their vertebrae plucked like grapes from a
cluster
not for the weak of heart
but fear having been weak is bolstered by the
umbrage of being a snotnosed kid who asked for none of it
who was innocent
innocence can be vengefulhe hadnt turned a cheek
the weak of heart could leave it to him
Thas not necessary Youre welcome
