You can bring Rose
with the turned-up nose
but don't bring Lulu.*
Ambiguity first! (Intellect’s
battle cry?) Turned-up as in
cute like little piggy? Or,
her emblem of assuming
superiority of taste?--
lording over all of us
from snoz. Anyway, none
in ball-breaking Lulu:
strenuous! and that's it.
I’ve tried counseling her
for society’s sake to eat
a bit of shit, but, wildly in-
educable to the end...
oh well, eventual room
for such women too,
separated dramatically.
