RHUBARB SLICE

   by Dick Bakken

Hey! Banjo whipper. Red
snake liquor. Mississippi Poppa Lisper.
Chicken snitcher. God, mister!

Jiffy kisser. Button twister. Biscuit
whiskers. Them bones, them bones, them
cry bones.

So gimmee a three-dime dinner.
Field peas and pig liver. Wigless old Baptist
winker. Rapture on out, whistle fingers.

Kick up my dew slippers. Lift them
bones, them bones, them cry bones. Limp
me around, limp me around.
