Party At The Lunatic Light Poem by Barry Middleton

Party At The Lunatic Light



the teapot toker
with the chromium smoker
keeps serving lavender cake
we paid him our money
for some tupelo honey
and a bag of wake and bake

I took a few tokes
of Mr Teapot's smoke
and I was floating on a cloud
while wearing a cloak
a comedian joked
and the party got loose and loud

a brother named Woody
in a Hurricane hoodie
was rapping out a gangster beat
his girl kept the rhythm
she was right there with him
when Woody turned up the heat

a tranny named Annie
with a silicone fanny
was rocking like an old freight train
a stoned Pakistani
went looking for his granny
when the butterflies stormed his brain

we all shot the breeze
and ate some fried cheese
the munchies were long overdue
then I went haywire
the fire was getting higher
seems this crazy girl wanted to screw

now Willie G
has a PhD
and he plays Ragtime piano
he has a pickup truck
and seven hundred bucks
and drugs from Texarkana

well he played all night
till the sun was bright
and then he played some more
so I gave it a whirl
with the crazy girl
and yes I upped my score

the action's alright
at the Lunatic Light
it's the craziest bar in town
the manager is Betsy
she is Mary Lou's bestie
and everyone knows she's a clown

Mr. Teapot is strong
on that medicinal bong
and the crazy people all get along
they play funky fusion
to spread the illusion
till the sun comes up with the dawn

so come on tonight
to the Lunatic Light
it's the wildest bar around
it's a wonderful sight
Main and First on the right
it's way the hell down town

you'll have a great night
at the Lunatic Light
but don't talk to Dragline Dwight
he ain't quite right
with that stick of dynamite
and he plays with fire at the Lunatic Light

Rollicking good time. It's a contemporary jug-band version of a contemporary urban club scene. Delightful. Sex, drugs and dare I say, a beat to make you dance.

Ha ha! Could almost be a hip hop thing. Thanks.
