I myself don't know much about them (wink).

The locals would tell me, if I knew any,

that I gotta keep the whole thing under wraps

and refer to them (if I must) as the world's nicest chaps;

they are also John Wayne Gacy happy and, God knows, zany,

and megaphone they'll murderize me for what I think.

.

It's been fun to struggle with a mortgage year by year,

locking me into a pen with the criminally insane,

who dog a mirror and see a god, preening. That vain!

And I strongly suspect Tony Interchangeable's queer.


.

To wit! To wit! Softly blow the sounds.

I may go mad with this mafiosi lalala -- zounds!
