let’s start altogether
let me hear you snap
that’s what i’m talking about
it’s not a shout
it’s a prayer
and while you may be unaware
of who is in that chair next to you
it’s what we do in our lair
slaying devil-may-care
and laissez-faire attitudes
without clapping
we’re snapping
we’re rapping in the Q
a who’s who of absurd things
words and strings
and birds
and flings of fancy
not flighty
we’re almighty
and then some
we chew gum if it’s cool
and act the fool
and i’ll be damned if it’s not
some kind of school
for learning’
i’m burning through these pages
at a smolder
and while i may be a tad older
than the bolder among you
or the best
i’m blessed
the rest of you
made it too
the end
