Making wine from oysters

A mop bucket stands unused

While muffins burn in the oven

Swingsets rust in the rain.

Yet carpet covers hardwood

As the moon serenades toads

Beyond the furthest galaxy

Three-eyed gargoyles play checkers.

A Dodge is missing a wheel

Whilst hummingbirds seek pollen and poo

The wind knocks over a For Sale sign

Sirens howl as dogs reply.

My heart is rendered useless

Shoes too tight and squeak

Churchbells clang in the distance

The Kool-Aid is too sour to drink.
