Droplet of Sweat on the Sphinx's Brow


A droplet of urine
a speckle of lint
a crust from a nostril
a faint taste of mint

a blast from the past
a spilled vase of sangria
finally an indictment
for Jose Padilla

a droplet of urine
a mouthful of muke
blew noses together
the smell made them puke

don't know what that meant
and don't know why I'd care
some rogaine for grandpa
comb over that hair

a droplet of urine
falls quick to the tile
a urinal beckons
but grav'ty's denial

doth stir in some echoes
from heavens above
whilst sugarplum fairies
sing high like the dove

a wee dab of windex
a speckle of lint
aerobic instructor
many a pitched tent

don't know what that means
and not sure that I care
twelve days yon til christmas
the shape of a pear

a droplet of urine
a sprinkle of muke
a stain on the diaper
the foul stench of dook

the baby powd' beckons
two johnsons collide
the oil doth anointest
the lion's young pride

Don't know what this means
and I think I should stop
a droplet of urine
the slightest kerplop.
