JEWELED SCIMITAR
Jeweled scimitar in sweltering heat
Without a wielder incomplete
What child left you after pleasure
Pint size pirate imagining treasure

What seas did imagination sail
Boundless horizons, skua wail
Hydrant spray is endless sea
Jeweled scimitar, speak to me

What child's hand once held this toy
Unfettered imagination gives off joy

WHERE IS HIP?
Hip is not an address in Brooklyn
Complete w/ porkpie hats, porkpie pies and emaciated whities
Hip is not an oh-so-trendy restaurant you can't get in
(And if you do you wish you hadn't)
Do you have reservations?
Yeah, but it's de rigeur to be here, dig
Nor is it a 3AM club with trendy music you can't stand, but do
Let me hip you bro
Hip is where I stand
