doop doop
Lanny Quarles
hey little doop doop bird
is your libido on the mountain top
is your li’l beado on the mouth taint tops
farrah faucet is dumb as a box of rocks
but lither than two universe
bumping asses in a solar nursery
hey yankee yeti, italian architect monkey
whatever you are
i paid 3 dollards for this chocalate bar
and cloned olive headed fleece campers
come pouring from this son
LOOTK AT MY YALE TONISL PALLOONS!
hollow giant terracotta banana rooms
can be connected by slit-like eyes
our super wide
super flat
lamp and film center
is shooting high speed hotdogs
little doop doop bird

  5. Hi Former Berkeley Girl,
    The blog has only been up since Friday. Hopefully more “lady parts” will be submitted.
