RETRIALS WILL FIND NO VERDICT
OR ENTER TO A NEW AGE

AND YOU WILL NOT REVISIT
PERFECTION THERE TO PLEASE

AND PAYMENT FOR YOUR LEISURE
MAKE IT OUT IN FULL
TO THE EMPIRE�S PROMISING TALENT
AND BRING IT TO THE TABLE
BRING IT!

DEAD MAN AT THE HAG TABLE
ZENITH FOR HOT WIRED SOULS

WITH TAINTED TABLETS
AND INCORPORATED GERMS
PRETENDING TO BE BLIND
OUTLASTING TROUBLED TIMES

AND CRACK YOUR LAST SURPRISE
THE FILED IS ALPHABETIZED

DO YOU REMEMBER HIM
IN THE PIT OF MEMORIES?

HE CLEARED A PATH FOR YOU
WITH HIS SNOW BLOWER
WILL YOU REVISIT HIM
WITH YOUR FOPE AND TORCH?

WE NOW DIRECT YOUR VERY SHORT ATTENTION 
TO A MOST UNUSUAL ARRANGEMENT:
THE CEREMONY

A PUSSY IN THE RING OF BULLDOGS

THE SENSITIVE ONES CANNOT BEAR TO STAY

THE CHAIN YANKERS OF THE PUPPET DANCE
FROZEN WITH THEIR CHECMICAL ERECTIONS

AND ALL THE GIFTS THEY BRING
A TACKELBOX OF SCARS
A CATAPULT AND PARACHUTE
SWOLLEN TUPIP GROUPS
HANDCUFF DOMINOES
"DECENCY" SCREAMED THE PORKY GIANT
THE BUS OF TROJAN HOPE
THE POWER CHORDS OF MORNING

CROCIDILE TO THE CROWN!
