Gotta Lotta Gall

Post by Lightning Rod » January 13th, 2011, 10:59 am

(The gall bladder is where we store our bile. Bile is bitter, bitter as gall. Yet we have a special organ in which to carry our bitterness. We carry it around so long that it sometimes turns to stone. Gall bladders should all be removed at birth.)

All your bitterness and bile
is put into a pile
a reservoir of shelved resentments
with one simple poke
from Arthur Arthroscope
who pulls the bladder out
like Excalibur from a stone

There is peace in the kingdom

when all your bitterness and bile
everything reviled
is put into a pile
9-one-one is dialed

Ya gotta lotta Gall
Gall Bladder
Ya gotta lotta Gall
Gall Bladder
Nothin' could be badder than a
Gall Bladder
or all the silly fables
of dying on the table
no bigger than a marble
it's really quite a marvel

all the swordsmen tried
to stab me in my side
only Arthur, Arthur Arthroscope
could pull away my stores of hate
my cargo of swallowed dreams

Don't Carry that stuff around no mo
Just make what you need as you go
you know it don't matter
'bout da damned Gall Bladder
Jus' make what you need as you go
"These words don't make me a poet, these Eyes make me a poet."
