THE HUMANS IN THE ROOM
( for Harry Owen )

"Well..?" said the elephant
"Yeah..." said the dragon
"...it was just as you said!

there I stood
in the middle of the room
huffin' 'n' a puffin'

and nobody
I mean nobody
paid any attention to me."

"See..." trumppted the elephant
I told ya and ya just
didn't believe me...did ya!"

I mean what is it ..."" dragon growled
with humans
it was like I was invisible"

so elephant & dragon
had a party of their own
invited hall the zoo

and any mythical creatures
that they knew
or ones they could imagine

"Humans can go...(hic)
to hell for all
I ****** well care!"

"You can say that again!"
whinnied a half drunk unicorn
dragon lighting its cigarette


"Humans can go...(hic)
to hell...." roared the elephant
getting very very(hic)sick
