Star-in-Boots

(Alsatian Latin)

Maurulam Catapult i lemm
                  i lamm
Haba habs tapam
papperlapapp patam
and grabs the pope fellow
in the aquarium
and like the economical mistress of the house cutting
the stained water in the vat
papperlapp patam
patam patam
and walking across the four cycles of day
across the piss-peace
       the piss-war
patam patam
and hanging up its corporal flesh
its corporal soul
its corporal tree-branch
in the wardrobe of the madonna of the hippodrome
patam patam
thus we lean over the licenses with the congenital
song of libretto
near the wall of maurulam
that's why it catapults
i lemm and i lamm
against the fixed and finite "flaximile folios"
papperlapp patam
and paste the pope fellow in the aquarium
that's why he's carried that way
which is neither gay or sad
and has no sin
and howls like a living dress
like a dental stone
Habemus papam habemus mamam
masculine of Mesopotamia
bosco contra belachini
Haba habs tapam
patam patam
teaching heresy so that the family tree may remain upright
with its family fruits its family leaves
its family trunk its family bark its family roots
patam patam
Maurulam catapult i lemm i lamm
Haba habs tapam
his language broke in his mouth
You have hair in your soul
You have hair in your Mister
Just who are those fellows
it's the spirit of eggs of nights it may be in the distance
the wild flesh that draws nearer
I shouldn't say it
patam patam
I dare not say it
patam patam
maurulam catapult i lemm i lamm
haba habs tapam
