Gertrude and Ludwig's Bogus Adventure

for Gabriele Mintz As Billy goes higher all the balloons Get marooned on the other side of the Lunar landscape. The module’s broke— It seems like for an eternity, but who’s Counting—and Sally’s joined the Moonies So we don’t see so much of her anyhow. Notorious novelty—I’d settle for a good Cup of Chase & Sand-borne—though when The strings are broken on the guitar You can always use it as a coffee table. Vienna was cold at that time of year. The sachertorte tasted sweet but the memory burned in the colon. Get a grip, get a grip, before The Grippe gets you. Glad to see the picture Of ink—the pitcher that pours before Throwing the Ball, with never a catcher in sight. Never a catcher but sometimes a catch, or A clinch or a clutch or a spoon—never a Catcher but plenty o’flack, ’till we meet On this side of the tune.
