Actually I am in this photo but just as a dark reflection in the store window. Well, in a couple of hours it will be December and you know what that means - time to spend everything you've got and some you don't.If you're coming up blank maybe an electric butter dish would be the thing. Only thing worse than overdone toast is hard butter.

Venus Rising to new heights of crassness...
ReplyDelete'tis the season.
ReplyDeleteRegarding crass I wrote a song:
The Ballad of Santa Claus and Jesus Christ
Santa Claus and Jesus Christ
were laid off from the Statue of Liberty
they took their beards and hair, they took their savoir faire
to the home of the rave and the land of the spree
the Son set out for the sunset
and he soon found the los angels' land
but Pere Noel had some things to sell
so he set his sales for the profits of Islam
Santa ended up in Tokyo
doing the Christmas rush in a downtown mall
but a mixed up helper turned Santa into a yelper
when he nailed him to a cross and hung him up on a wall
I saw this on my TV screen
I wasn't sure if it was news or some kind of porn ya
on comes an ad, god it was sad
they had Jesus selling wine from California
and the name of the wine was 'The Miracle Wine'
He says don't take my word get empirical
if your spirit's saggin just raise that flagon
and if it's a good wine - it's a miracle
meanwhile, over in Tokyo
five hundred naugahyde Elvises are bowing to Santa Claus
the salvation zazen bluegrass band is playing Bill Monroe
and the shoppers are picking up deals on Madonna nursing bras
meanwhile, back in Hollywood
they let J.C. go for reasons no one believes
but that rock's gonna roll he's coming back - the King Of Soul
as the Swinging Jesus and the Calvary Thieves
meanwhile, over in Tokyo
they let Kris Kringle go as we all expected
but don't shed a tear in three days it's a new fiscal year
and Santa - was resurrected
Santa Claus and Jesus Christ
were laid off from the statue of Liberty
they took their beards and hair, they took their savoir faire
to the home of the rave and the land of the spree
meanwhile, in the Statue of Liberty
Dr. Einstein was transferred to the Alamo
T.E. Lawrence rides in on the new democracy
that's curly, that's Larry, there ain't no mo
This is good: Jesus appears as Santa in Christmas ads
