Year 5 of the reign of the Magic Kenyan
With apologies to Perry Como, Connie Smith,
Candy Pruett, Jason Bolt, Lottie, Clancy,
Biddie Cloom, and Bobby Sherman,
I reworked one of America’s finest TV songs
to reflect reality in Year 5 of the reign of the Magic Kenyan:
The lavender skies you’ll ever see are in Seattle
Dope smoke rises above the trees in Seattle
Like soul-damaged kids
Free to scramble their ids
Full of laughter full of tears
As the sadists whip the queers
Dykes puff reefers and belch their beers
In Seattle.
The lavender skies you’ll ever see are in Seattle
Misfits stampede the women and rape the cattle
Adam is atop Steve
And Ellen’s doing Eve
Beavers are free as the breeze
To gnaw each other not the trees
Kennedy spawn hit trees on skis
In Seattle.
Kevin Sherlock
PS. RIP, Stormin’ Norman. You were the anti-Betrayus and the anti-
Kristy McChrystal.
