Lend me your ears
I need better hearing
I've got the ear wax blues
I'm hard of shearing
My sheep has been sold
My fleece it is flying
My niece has been bold
She's shera sighing
Into the flannel folds
Of flanders the soldiers go
Hiring steadfast gastropods
To carry Oedipus crying
Eyes like a waterfall
Footfall treading
Gently on mountainsides
Cursed yet beguiling
Nonchalantly staring
Into the abyss
Caring not whether it's a hit or a miss
As Achilles goes down at the heel
Down in the mouth is Agamemnon
The Scylla talks too loud
Patroclus is yet smiling
and whiling away hours
The centaur sleeps in his cave
The minotaur has a headache
Stuck in his own maze
Theseus is climbing the stairs to save
Rapunzel who got stuck there on
A Greek holiday
It's all a basket case of bread
From better days
But my ear it is listening
To stories
