The Squirming Coil of sunset
I keep within my reach
Tried yesterday to get away

and hitchhiked to the beach

I saw Satan on the beach

trying to catch a ray
He wasn't quite the speed of light
and the squirming coil

it got away....

The muscles flex the mother's ring

She fastens children to her king
and sends him down the crooked street
When he returns, the birth's complete


Jimmy holds the Tannis root
The forest's tasty nectar shoot

The sun tips off the monarch's suit
from sequined sash to shiny boot


"I'd like to lick the coil some day
Like Icarus, who had to pay
with melting wax and feathers brown

He tasted it on his way down"

Stun the puppy!

Burn the whale!
Bark a scruff and go to jail!
Forge the coin and lick the stamp!

Little Jimmy's off to camp
