My dream in the Pudding
My dream in the Pudding
by The Man who Was to Be King, maybe, perhaps…
As the partridge began to sing
I could sense the slyness of my pudding
The pudding, in its slyness
As it lapped and laced upon the youth coated bough.
It slurped and swallowed the earth.
And then, the earth became spaghetti
The boy ate the spaghetti
The stomach churned as he enjoyed it
He choked to death
He was buried and a worm ate his insides
His pancreas, glutimus maximus and so forth
The worm swallowed some of the spaghetti
He choked as well, and so to were his pancreas eaten
The pudding from the way beginning was getting cold
And all this I saw on its glossy surface
And all died.

Thanks for the explanation at the end
John,
If it hadn't been for your generous explanation at the end of this satire I am sure that I would have been left thinking that you are out of your freaking mind. What was the author's intention, what is the meaning...who the hell has an iota of a clue. Just make sure I never get any of your pudding!!!!!!!
Relieved,
Pete
