The Cities of the Plain

Visible to anyone in the world

Some people from the cities of the plain came to see me, but they'd left it a bit late. “Sodom”, I said, “They can wait until Gomorrah”.

Don't Do This

Visible to anyone in the world

I wanted to cut off my nose

To spite my face

But went to the wrong place

And cut off my toes

This made my feet

Feel quite hurt

And blurt

Out something quite indiscreet.

I'd like to see more optimism. But I doubt it's going to happen.

There was a man, who lived in a tree

Because he thought he was a bee.

And when they said: "Bees don't live in trees, they live in hives"

He just retorted "I live in a tree."

"Because I am a SuperBee."
