Kidd

To remind myself
I’m a dancing elf
A scribbled, crumpled
Note to self.

How do I get through?
What can I get you?
Malt-O-Meal,
Instead of drive-thru?

About me? Never.
Ties that sever
Big pink pachyderm
And image clever.

Don’t know nothin.
Nobody's fussin.
Reach out for hands
And call their bluffin.

Two can play this
Long snake moan hiss.
Judas showed us
A loving kind kiss.

Empty gestures
Shown to test your
Best intentions.
Don’t ask questions.

Let’s not be bitter.
Always a kidder.
Scratch the surface
Love lies in litter.
