12,848. TARANTULA

TARANTULA
I can guide you, Lindy Lane,
to whichever place you'd like.
Right there, that man with the
scarf, is wearing my shoulders,
and he thinks he knows it all.
He can't help, though I can.
-
Let's put these claims to rest:
I have not (yet) taken your
money; though personally it's
probably only because I've not
yet figured how. Title to your
car? Yes, I admit, I've turned
that over to myself; claiming 
it, for tax purposes, as having
cost me six hundred dollars.
-
The broomstick handle went
through the window, breaking
all that glass I've not yet swept.
I hate such drudgery, you know.
Nothing is greater than a life
of leisure. I heard a guy, once,
say to his friend : 'Let's put
half a calf on the barbie, and
get a case of beer.'
