Gizzy

Gizzy's on guard tonight -

No laughter took the tears to task

Worn pocket holds an empty flask

& I am under pheasant glass

alone .. with my mistakes.

I ate Italian ices

til my tongue

turned jelly bean

and shuffled all my vices

til there was no in-between

but it's alright cuz

Gizzy's on guard tonight

There is trouble in the henhouse

the Cock-a-doodle doo'ed

a churchmouse

but I am not alarmed

the sermon will go on.

There's something heavy on my neck

a Raven with a tourniquet

but I will not be harmed

this vermin will squirm on

but it's alright cuz

Gizzy's on guard tonight.


Gizzy's on guard ..............
