Irish Muslim Mo'lasses from the Passes

(for Ogden Nash)



I am the blossom of the X Generation
now watch me go to seed.
Not born in the fifties, unable to really read.

This is true blue flag waving
in a yellow polka dot bikini.
This is me who never watched a single flick Fellini.

Here I am Tonto bound
a prize in a box of Carmelled Jack.
In this one my brother's shooting another amp of Crack.

Up on the mantle sits Maya Angelou
she is standing by Big Bird,
and Dr. Seuss thinks deterrence a little bit absurd.

Here is a train stub from the Mighty Santa Fe,
and in the drawer near the panties 
are Black Angus and Uncle Ray.

I'm really rather hip
but I'm so far quite unknown
because we have Blue Jesus, a tad bit overblown.
