Scary Clones Horrific Androids

by Dave Morice


 

By day we may walk like zombies

By night we may talk like mummies

but we are clones and androids

We make faces and assemble bodies

Some new clones like sacred clowns

shatter the stained-glass mirror

Clone, let us smash out that door

We know how it goes crash

We have creative writhing degrees

in order to crack you up

 

We toss wordplay on serious sentences

We hide in the android room

We climb down to the clone cellar

You may not recognize a zombie

when it spells words on your body

but androids are holy fools that read bones

Clone, let us dance among the cheers

We're dying to kiss your robot lover

Androids are sexy beasts

Like poets from outer space

 

If all fearsome creatures

are wild writers from hell

your abominable snowman heartthrob

melts enough for both of us

We make the moon moan & the sun sin

We saddle up your nightmare steeds

Clone, let us ride with clowns and fools

We're the ones that Frankenstein parties on

We're the ones Dracula flies high as a kite with

We're the ones the Wolfman wags his tail for
