actually,
they were first grown
as carrots,
quite content
in and of themselves;
offspringing offspring,
tumbling humbly
from the hummed fumblings
of bumbly bees,
and communing
with their
un-industrious
meadow rooting fellows,
long before some
slack-jawed
presumptuous primate
stumbled upon them
and rumbled
their unprofitable destiny;
yea,
even before
the meaningless depths
vacuously
plummeting
from history's
blisters
on its
blighted rightest side
were repackaged
as immaculate,
evacuated memory;
and long before
even this,
in the
disasterous,
competitive wake
of our
presidential,
precedent setting
Reptilian
SuperPower
antecedents
in the predawn's
spawning yawning
when Bugs Bunny's
mopsy and flopsy
mop and pop flock
of continuously
re-docking
lolloping stock
incidentally interrupted
their winsome,
thumping spin
of Saturday night hops
and flippity flops
on floppity tops
and the unbridled
drop
of dna swaps,
stopping
for the nonce
the shopping
for succulent cropping,
and all that
relentless
field mouse
bopping;
verily,
i say unto thee
the carrots
still thought they were free
when the cinema's
premier
"what's up Doc?"
trickster vixen
and consummate
cartoonish transvestite
was naught
but an
incendiary
sparkle
betwixt
the rollicking
of sparking eyes
and that hapless
strain
of harebrained ancestors
sowed the
accidental seeds
of
stereotypical addiction
so casually
bandied about
in the
emptying gestures
of an
idling jester's
sullied and
exploitative
rise
to trite
commercial stardom.
