Why, Jerry, I had no idea
that you were not from Oz!
Despite the bring-down, thank you, Swag,
for all your kind hurrahs.
The ewe you mention has a true
affinity, my lamb—
though you are not a zoophile,
an Aries lamb I am.
Oh, for Oz! Without these poison
sumac neighborhoods—
my bloomin' East Coast countryside
is lush with toxic woods.
Still there are small mercies, though
the woods I dare not cruise:
this poison sumac can't compare
to oak and ivy's ooze.
Oz without ooze!
That's what I choose!
Any dorm
in a storm.
Any pizzen?
Prison.
