Common Sense
Deflating yesterday’s pompous offering
I suggest
we are what we’ve been told
Distilled by observation, critical thinking
and common sense
So it’s way back when and Jimmy and me
are walking along hungry with a stick and a rock
bitching that the Chief has all the women
and we see this snake never seen before
weird with no legs and Jimmy says
Let’s get it and I say Wait a minute Jimmy
He jumps and it strikes
With luck I hit it with the stick
and smash it with the rock
but poor Jimmy is not good
So back at the huts
I tell the Chief the story except for the luck part
and he says:
These Jimmysnakes, we honor you Jimmy
Are very dangerous by striking
Can be killed with a stick and a rock
Look like this and are delicious
And we say:
Thank you Chief
we have heard your wise words and will teach
our great-grandchildren blah blah blah
And the Chief says:
Thanks to Steve for killing the Jimmysnake
And bringing back poor Jimmy
You can have my 17th daughter Em borne by Judy blah blah blah
Hey I’ve got a wife
and I’m a hero
I’m not Steve I’m Steve JimmysnakeKiller
The baddest Jimmysnake killer ever!
Em touches my hand and says:
Isn’t there only one?
It’s time to leave you’ve had your fun
You mess with Jimmysnakes you’ll wind up dead
Say goodbye to poor Jimmy and come to bed
