there once was a poodle who thought he was a cowboy but he lived in a cage the size of his thumb and though his white horse was a box of toothpicks he galloped around until hit by a car and sometimes i flap my arms like a hummingbird just to remind myself i ll never fly and sometimes i burn my arms with cigarettes just to pretend i won t scream when i die and if my life was as long as the moon s i d still be jealous of the sun and if my life lasted only one day i d still be drunk by noon and sometimes i can t wait to come down with cancer at least then i ll get to watch tv all day and on my deathbed i ll get all the answers even if all my questions are taken away if my life was as long as the moon s i d still be jealous of the sun if my life lasted only one day i d still be drunk by noon
