(BIKINI STRING THEORY)
Odd things happen!
Just t'other day,
I was sittin' and smokin',
When shortly I espied an Elephant walkin' by!
I looked it up and down,
Like you do a gal in a string bikini;
To melodies of the Red Hot Chili Peppers when...
He decide to converse,
Rehearse..if you will,
His reason for bein' !
Of which, I had no problem as I was head deep in my smoke!
Hell I even offered that great gnarly beast a toke..
It was the least..
He cut my thoughts short as he took the blunt,
Started his spiel..
I am called "Ol Voodoo",
Said he in a stentorian thunder of a voice!
Though I'm sure that's not what you think I'd be..
But thas okay, he slurred through the inhale,
I am string theory in the flesh..
A conjuration of The Wizard's imagination,
For your entertainment and the subjugation..
Of your mind!
Witchful thinking, I guess you could call it!
He chuckled..
A deep, throaty thing that seemed to start from his BUTT..
THAT thought alone,
Sent me into piques and spasms of hilarity!
He watched me..
Bemused, Amused, and not a bit confused at what sent me rollin'!
Which reminded me...
So I rolled another as I was beginnin' to fade..
Or was it the elephant?!
Either way,
We sat and talked,
and talked,
and talked some more...
Til somewhere I dozed off.
He musta tired of waiting,
Cuz I awoke, startled when I took a tumble off my seat,
Thinkin' what a great treat,
A dream so surreal..
Til I heard the Elephant's peal..
And I turned to watch him sashay...
On two legs, no less,
Walking away!
Fading into the afternoon roadway mirage.
I think I'll ha' me a beer now!
Later,
When is cooler,
Maybe I'll roll me another Elephant!
Argue about reality... and Bikini String Theory.
Or THE Wizard...
Or?!
