Granny Farm For Gatsby
And those rare observational gifts
justify your estate agent's fee:
"So,
This is the kitchen,
That must be the bathroom..
Yeah, that dude outside is
your genuine solar-powered garden gnome..
So, we'll throw the solar gnome in gratis..
[Smiley face]
Delightful..

So made your mind up yet?

So,
you've had my five minutes,
So,
please give me my fee,
So,
thank you goodbye,
Exit stage left me"
So,
There you now are -
So deep inside the mortgagee kill zone;
You've dished up your bank a wage slave-loving home.
Your soul gravy shall drizzle commuter zone decades,
Tumbleweed eyes glaze,
Your plaintive rockstar days sand-blasted away,
dinnerware-damned and betrayed.
A lobster on simmer-to-boil-to-cold,
So here's your keys,
And here's a sweet strychnine flavour of rope,
And how about a glass of champagne to soothe your soul's mini-stroke?
Just think, it'll all be paid for - in forty-four years,
And then it's the granny farm for Gatsby,
If
you're
still
here.
What a bargain - Fear.
Wherever you are in the universe, you're here.
You're flipping fish-headed coins beneath the stairway to starfish.
You're a lifer, you're a hamster -
A hamster stunned on the careering karmic wheel dealing 6 billion other lap-dancing tap dancers..
Watchful -
The Great Sardines are blaring above the broiling Tiggers of Spam.
I'm mixing my metaphors as fast as I can;
I understand.
Ison floored into the sun.
Will Planet X be closer still on its fun run?
So cheer up,
You're one of the lucky ones:
Your solar-powered garden gnome will help you take command,
For this castle of sand is your castle of sand.
So if you're happy and you don't know it,
Clap one hand.
