11,108. SCRATCHY O'HARRIGANS

SCRATCHY O'HARRIGANS
My father once told me 'they'll be
coming to get you,' but that was
long ago, and long before. This
kettle of fish is now over-flowing
its lava, and they call it kimchee
sauce?  Decorations on the hillside
and trees in the hall? How did any
of this get started, how'd it happen
at all. Married with children, I'm not.
Before they invented the chariot,
I hooked my horse with your lariat.
(I learned my lessons for Johnny O'May,
painting herds of cattle on Delaware Bay).
