Massacre Superstition

Massacre Superstition is a poem by Patrick Darragh.

Verse 1

 * 1) The pit of alien prey
 * 2) Are old and like to sit
 * 3) Hand picked by orangutans
 * 4) Milky sweet pineapples
 * 5) Beyond the beyond
 * 6) Guys with fries that
 * 7) Shadows cast upon
 * 8) While Ritz crackers are
 * 9) Sunbathing in mutant
 * 10) Strawberry soap.
 * 11) Little turbo beavers
 * 12) Have massacre superstition
 * 13) Of slaves reaching America
 * 14) And peach candy nests
 * 15) Fighting each other to the west.
 * 16) Dog toy fibres flavoured grape
 * 17) Eaten by my pet, his mouth agape
 * 18) Cacti root to the ceiling
 * 19) Where there is wallpaper
 * 20) Of oranges peeling.
 * 21) Valuable gold, washed away
 * 22) The sunrise roasts peanuts
 * 23) With honey sizzled at a place
 * 24) Where green meadows and the desert meet.
 * 25) Salt and sugar and unexploding soda,
 * 26) Chinese mangoes toasted the Italian way,
 * 27) Pink and white mutant strawberries
 * 28) Are eaten by a big booty bonsai.
 * 29) Banana plumbers fix the wiring,
 * 30) When the neighborhood was hiring.
 * 31) Noodles in the Berlin Wall covered in chalk,
 * 32) Planes hovered and played tic tac toe in our skies,
 * 33) Ditch the witch, for which she spreads horrible lies.
 * 34) Smokehouses and brick shafts dominate the ghost cities,
 * 35) A lemon-pepper hybrid, light green in colour,
 * 36) A little purplish and vivid,
 * 37) And a massive sandstorm covers Europe,
 * 38) Full of Saharan dust and crushed peanuts.
 * 39) Teal lambs and huge, holographic chips,
 * 40) Tropical wheat fields all over my lips,
 * 41) Cheese graters wear blue aprons,
 * 42) When cooking cheese on Saharan dunes,
 * 43) And when Spearmint's conjoined twins,
 * 44) Jump on the planet Perūn.
 * 45) Square watermelons under the orange sky,
 * 46) They see medical nitrogen as they cry.

Verse 2

 * 1) I crept as the bed
 * 2) Crawled the dead
 * 3) I screamed
 * 4) And beamed
 * 5) At them.
 * 6) By a flower stem
 * 7) I coughed, "Ahem!"
 * 8) And coughed and coughed
 * 9) While I fought and fought
 * 10) With a bad cold
 * 11) And I'm old
 * 12) But bold
 * 13) And very brave
 * 14) I don't live in a cave
 * 15) We're rich
 * 16) I have an itch
 * 17) And I cannot get rid of it
 * 18) I went to a candle
 * 19) Lit it and found a handle
 * 20) I pulled it and there was
 * 21) A secret door of fuzz
 * 22) My eyes adjusted
 * 23) And I was busted
 * 24) My parents were there
 * 25) Reading some book
 * 26) And they let me off the hook
 * 27) It was a shelter
 * 28) We can pelt her
 * 29) And so, we attacked
 * 30) They backed
 * 31) And they survived
 * 32) And they thrived
 * 33) "Oh, Edgar!
 * 34) We got a new car
 * 35) Go get the newborn plant,
 * 36) And water it with your care!"
 * 37) There was a beefy man eating beef
 * 38) He crunced on a plate made out of leaves
 * 39) And his voice was crisp
 * 40) When avocados danced in the field
 * 41) He had a cute-sounding lisp
 * 42) And he said,
 * 43) "I have to be wed."
 * 44) He became angry and said:
 * 45) "I got a husband, and I'm not going to be wed.
 * 46) I was gonna be angwy!"
 * 47) Hidden in the snow was a pizza
 * 48) I found a coconut covered in a white sheet
 * 49) Inside was juice and meat,
 * 50) I cooked it
 * 51) And my pan lit
 * 52) And our house was mildly burnt
 * 53) And that's what I saw.
