<poem> | |||
Watch out Mary here comes Horace | |||
He has buried his telephone | |||
Lives on TV sleeps by sunshine | |||
To keep the light from his naked bones | |||
From when he was six weeks he'd hold air in his cheeks | |||
To push the buttons of a lucky few | |||
Now self suffocation is his recreation | |||
He says it's safer than sniffing glue | |||
Mr. Blue Veins | |||
He pushed for contact but she wouldn't play | |||
So he held his breath again to get his way | |||
Mary said look here I met you yesterday | |||
So take your blue face and get out of my way | |||
Now Horace he hit back hard | |||
He shut his mouth with clothespins, taped up his nostrils | |||
And sprawled on her floor | |||
Mary have in slowly and just when he passed out | |||
Pulled off the pins and tape and gave him CPR | |||
Mr. Blue Veins | |||
