Have you ever stopped to wonder
Where pocket lint comes from
Is it mass produced, does it just run loose
Or is it grown on a pocket lint farm
And are there tiny little farmers
With tiny little hoes
Who's time is spent planting pocket seed lint
In tiny little rows
Is that why so many pockets
Are lined in cloth of white
For the best in growing conditions
Letting in the perfect amount of light
But then you have to wonder
What the farmers do for rain
And if your always wet in the front of your pants
What would people have to say
And why go through all the trouble
Since apparently it has no use
Unless we hire tiny little tailors
In the making of pocket lint Leisure Suits
And if we do I'd like mine in baby blue
To wear at all the Bar Mitzvahs, Proms, and Wakes
I'm sure that once it catches on
It'll be the latest craze
There really must be some sort of purpose
In pocket lints grand design
Don't you ever wonder where it comes from
I myself think about it all the time

Pocket Lint? 40 days on a Spiritual journey and THIS is what you come up with?! I suppose next your going to tell me you have a poem on an Eskimo moving South and buying a Pecan farm! Well now that you mention it....
