John Hegley's Net Words Page Heading
 

 

Culture Shock

He's sitting in his armchair
with his solar powered light
He's sitting in the desert
so the bulb keeps burning bright
He's sitting in his armchair
and his standard lamp is on
The vultures are approaching
for the genius has gone

The cactuses just stand there
And the sand just lies about
He wears his favourite slippers
And he'll never wear them out.
