friends are like music
and music like empires
they rise and fall

lovers are like stilts
and stilts like sergeant majors
make you stand tall

parents are like stars
and stars like labradors
they guide us by

M.P.s are like death
and death like sleeping dogs
left they will lie?

Judas is like Medusa
and Medusa like anteaters
lousy kissers

climate change is like war
and war like Van Winkle
just grows so old

Titus is like fish
and fish like the dead
stored in the cold

life is like bee stings
and bee stings like virginity
only get one

morgues are like Mercury
and Mercury like cliches
all dead and sun.
