False Consciousness

False Consciousness

(A Marxian Allegory)

I  gave  my  love  a  blood  red  rose.

She  said  she  got  a  lot  of  those

From  lovers  that  she  holds  more  dear.

I’m  not  her  love;  she  made  that  clear.

I  know  that  she  oft  loves  freely

Or  for  a  small  gratuity;

As  I  know  I’ll  love  her  really,

I  can  bear  her  promiscuity.

She’s  not  mean  with  her  affections,

I  just  wish  it  were  my  turn.

She  uses  cream  for  infections --

I’ve  heard  it  said  that  love’s  flames  burn.

I float like a butterfly and I sting like a bee ...

Got a scrote like a basketball and it stings when I pee.

I  have  grazed  my  knee

on  several  occasions.

However,

My  knee  is  not

a  cow;              

nor  does  my  calf

have  four  (4)

stomachs.

Breakfast Song

Breakfast Song

Do not tremble little lamb;

I don’t want you --

I want some ham.

Tremble, pig!

Start to shakin’!

When you’re dead I’ll eat your bacon!

Calm down, hen!

You’re pants -- you’ll soak ‘em.

I don’t want you,

Just your ovum.

                   (c)Frank Rooney
