Pep Rally

Many mangled Tasty Cakes
Avoid the dumpster’s toss
Of the late night convenience clerk.

The rats and men collect,
Witnessthe president’s motorcade.
The rats and men grovel to the food,

And the president, who passes,
Thinks they worship him
And no one there is who dissuades

The holy vision of the holy man:
Holy men of leisure, deliver us
A golf course, deliver us from the pig
Farm which stench invades the golf
Course, deliver us the check made
Out to rats, to men made out of rats.

The limousine is bomb
Resistant.

Which is good for the rummage
The new job listing of the dumpster’s prize.

The rats elect each other
To bite the filthy men

Into remembering they’re forgotten
