Body Ballad

Body Ballad

My bodywalkers tap me home

My anklefloppers swing me

I bob and bop and boogie any-

Where these toeboats bring me.

My kneemachines pump on unseen

These knobbly walkpoles run me

I might just throw these fleshstilts out

For all the good they've done me

My hulahooper's getting thick

My walkertall is aching

And yet, and yet, the joy I get

The pleasure that I'm taking!

I flip my hatrack, flop my hairprop,

Bop my talkingorb,

My lookingsphere, this hearingbox -

I frolic and absorb!

My greasyworkers wag my straightwings

Watch my ringposts snap!

Akimbo on my toddlerproppers

Doughgrips tap, drop, flap.

My bodywalkers tap me home

My anklefloppers swing me

I bob and bop and boogie any-

Where these toeboats bring me.
