A drive-by piercing with a lemon going haywire Some day-old sushi seen floating in a milk shake Biplanes soaring on a river made of goldfish Hamsters running like a maggot being stepped on T-Birds flying on a highway made of spike strips A sleeper hold keeping pleasure from the culprit High-speed boats with Bond at the Olympics A Cheshire cat that is famous for his slow wit A hands-free call using carrots as a pitchfork Motel 6 giving buckets full of sunshine A loser shakes when he’s calling for a train wreck Two horned-toad dogs seek pleasure from a princess Pineapples dance on a table made of tall grass Swimming pools run like the nostrils of a cokehead Lawnmowers chase televisions made of chocolate A headrest pops like a package full of mayonnaise Full moon falling like a stock that’s made of pennies Some ring-toss games using members as a target Horse-drawn buggies have turtles for a driver Captain Crunch cracks three teeth with his product Unicorn strippers charge nothing for a snow cone A fig tree shoots his rifle like a marksman Time-lapse photos lend credence to a journey A night jog leading to the starting of a win streak Cotton ***** fighting like the heart of a palm tree Rabbit holes filled with a rocket made of red glare Alien red giants just as sure as I am breathing A high-speed rail system travels without leaving Lamborghinis resting on a bed of melting ice cream Then there’s a cuckoo clock riding on a white mink I saw a cowboy yesterday atop a pile of hay Leaches lurking everywhere really like to play Red newspaper taxis burn at the pole in June Hearts of gold at harvest time, hear my drum in tune Playing in the band was my only decent goal Rake, a shovel, and a pick dig working with a *** Prince without a pauper will rise from down below Hot tamales drop like hail the radar never showed Squids sign a new record deal using their own ink Octomom wants it all; such ***** I’ve never seen
