Who’s the dummy?

CK Baker

Read me that passage once again
You know
The one about the guy
Who’s got his finger
Stuck where it shouldn’t be
Spinning it all the way to the top
And shocking anyone within his view

Samuel was his name
And his friends called him
‘The Dummy’
You could see him often
Biting the wing of his chicken
And shaking his head
Zolten would ask
“You call this a pastime Sammy...
You call this a pastime?”
The dummy would say
“It’s fine...it’s fine...yes...yes...
It’s what I do”
And no one seemed to mind
Save for the chicken

He was a descendant of the Eastern block
A “Shipol” they’d say
His fingers pruned
Eyes red
And full of hope
“Toss me one of those sour balls...
And let someone else call the show!!”
Today’s line up:
Brass balls
And surfboards of death
They always seem to keep the captain entertained

A big belch
From a little man
Has Sammy grinning
Ear to ear
Un-kept teeth
And blackened nails
Do not cross his mind
For he’s all about
Pulling compliments from the day

Hey wait
He’s stomping now
And angry
Hey wait...it’s passed!
Look at that
He’s already moving on
See you later Zolten
See you later indeed!
