Rhymes for Innocuous Times While Sipping on Raw Limes

Jazzy, Fuzzy and Brandy

Stirring down Bikini Bottom

Eating crabby on the patty

Let it rain, monsoon

Until I see the crystal moon

Bubbles in the puddle

Dreams of blue in acid rubble

Dancing still with no tax bill

The monsoon went up the hill

Blow typhoon, blow

Blow the wheat beer in my rear

Hear the slang from Wu Tang Clan

Until the new day’s ban

The song whimpers in your throat

While floating in your paper boat

Drifting into disarray

Following the crimson ray

In the company of oars, boars and apple cores

Until you reach the promised shores

Materialize envisioned words

Heard sometimes in psych wards

It comes in handy

To just sit there dandy

Stir down, but not to frown

Stir down Bikini Bottom

Down under the monsoon

Down below the crystal moon

With Jazzy, Fuzzy and Brandy
