“Oh, Geezerdom”

Oh, Geezerdom

Oh, geezerdom; oh, geezerdom,

When will the angels come?

Will the come in a van

Like a Wal-Mart clan.

Playing games in the parking lot

With the souls they have got?

Or will they come in a box

A mix that Betty Crocker talks

You through how to bake

Take the ingredients and shake

Them all together to make

Food for the angels’ sakes?

Oh, geezerdom; oh, geezerdom

When will the angels come?

I’m not sure that I know

If I’m yet ready to go

To rise fast of sink slow

To wherever the afterlife might exist.

Am I on the heavenly list?

Am I an ingredient

In a cake expedient

To be lifted to heaven to come

Or left as parking lot crumbs.

“Chocolate”

Chocolate

At the finish line /

There should be brownies. Always. /

Angels aren’t enough.
