Through the Kaleidoscope
Bedazzlement of shifting shapes
Sparkling against the light
A shiny gem, a blinding drape
That meets the eye's delight
So vivid, like That 70's show
Spinning, with groovy wry
Sunshine behind the ambit shows
Pink diamonds in the sky
The cluster of Orion's belt
A winding maze of stars
Falling ash and Jupiter pelts
Tumbling like streams afar
From off the wheel of zodiac
The symbols come alive
Watching them clash and counteract
Crazed, like a riled bee hive
Aries headbuts Gemini
And Taurus humps Virgo
The raging Leo snags the goat
A frenzied vertigo
Cancer locks with Scorpio
Grappling with their pincers
Libra scales that little fish
The chaos has no censors
And then I see an orange cow
Jump tenfold, over moon
With Sagittarius chasing it
With arrows and harpoon
Aquarius stands and limbers back
Then hurls a vase of water
But, never does this slosh delay
No never, does it bother
It's funny, to the naked eye
I can't see diddley squat
But, once I scope this funnel nigh
I see a clustered clot
Peering out from my back window
Through the Kaleidoscope
Seeing swells of innuendo
Things that I can not cope
