DJ Spinoza Talks to Flipper
He walks around walks around
DJ Spinoza
He looks like a circle
from which sticks out a snorkel
He says, Hey Flipper
You’re next in line
for the French throne!
For your directions aren’t overthrown
by th’element they swim in
You almost talk
whereas I sit under infinitesimal pieces of glass
instead of doing philosophy
If I were a rich man
all day I would tiddi-tiddi-dum
for the order of tiddi-tiddi-dum
repeats the order of things
I know
it is so
Look,
A cow flies
A fly cows
A rat larks
A lark rats
But a dog dogs
A bug bugs
All sorts of things are happening
in the bayou
