poke mongo?
poke mongo?
I sure as hell wouldn’t
poke mongo
that guy ran around
punching out cows
in Blazing Saddles
that dude was fierce

you people are fine with folks
muttering to themselves
looking for invisible monsters
in public places when you call it
“church”

I tried to imagine a world
where unregulated battle creatures
with the potential to flat-out kill you
were wandering around for real
but then I remembered
that’s how guns are here and
the whole thing was less funny

you’ve failed to find any
in your house twice today
but third time’s the Charmander
or so the kids say

poke mongo?
poke mongo?
I sure as hell wouldn’t
poke mongo
that dude was fierce
