 |
the sun
the rain
the joy
the pain
the pung of the dung from the morning plain
and when the forest calls
i’m always there
lending a hand
doing my share
but i admit
come the spring
all i want is ring ding ding
look at this thing!
look at this thing!
look at this thing!
it’s a barbarian! why thank you, thank you very much
as a person of fur
i concur
i’m sometimes quick to bite
but it hurts my soul
when the world is wrong
i need to put it right
for far too long
we’ve sung a song
of sadness and despair
and i do my best to put the bad to rest…
but right now i don’t care
look at this thing! yes, look at this thing
look at this thing! oh, my
look at this thing! uh-hu,uh-huh,uh-huh, uh-ha…
it’s a barbarian! oh…
still, it p’s me off
we’re not tough enough
with things so out of hand
there comes a time
when the foot stamps down
you have to take a stand
like climate change
god deranged
bio fools
tribal rule
oil wars
corporate whores
army coups
and other news
like…
like…
oh, calm down, bobo, calm down
oh… that’ll help
look at this thing! yes, indeedy!
look at this thing! oh…
look at this thing! oh… oh…
it’s a barbarian! ah…
here
let me get you some towels
no, but you ladies go right ahead
i’ll just soak the rays
personally, i use the atmosphere as my shark repellent
they seem not to like it
heaven help us if they did
look at this thing! what, back already?
look at this thing! oh no, i couldn’t
look at this thing! well… maybe one more time
look at this thing! get your hands off me you damn dirty ape, hahaha
look at this thing! no, no, the camera’s not on
look at this thing!…
(assorted grunting)

Oh, very clever. And yes I enjoyed it and yes I laughed. But sexism is sexism, no matter which way you cut it. Yet again, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Gee, just when I thought all the dinosaurs of the gender wars were extinct…
Ladies and gentleman, we have a winner… the inspirational anthem to the new global order. All species of the planet, arthropodal or hydrocephalic, cold or bold, bhoddisatvic or brain-buggered, queer or feared, harridanic or harijanal, crepuscular or aurorean, lilliputian or titanic, contrite or unrepentant, epicurean or stoic, rough or ready, convivial or not…
Begin to boogie or moonwalk or feverfootie with Barry Gibb or Max Beckmann (an excellent dancer when in the black forest)…
The moment, ladies and gentleman, we’ve been waiting for… The time is now. We are here. The arrival. The sublime sacredness of it all, not to mention all the moisture… This is it…
WE are the barbarians.
And I’m expanding, splashing my feet in the curved space of my pool. Oh what a feeling… What a gush…
Just look at this thing, will ya?!!!
Sister, anti-sex feminism is a discredited relic of the 1980s. Get over it. Read some Paglia. Dworkin is dead.
Or if you’re not actually serious – nevermind.
I came, I saw, I concurred.
