JOEY, THE SPASTIC KANGAROO
by David Lefkowitz
I’ve been a trapper since I was 13 I’ve caught animals you’ve never seen Like six-legged tigers and cows without feet But the greatest of all, I was destined to meet
I was on contract for Sydney’s big zoo They asked me for wombats and wallabies, too I hid in the bush awaiting my chance When far in the distance I saw something dance
I waved me blowgun and stood there transfixed He twisted so fast, nearly all my darts missed I came up behind him and made not a sound I jumped on the `roo and brought him to the ground.
Out in the Outback where the possums play I saw a creature who took me breath away Got him sedated, brought him to the zoo We called him “Joey, the Spastic Kangaroo.”
In isolation, the roo bounced and shook So frantic was he, it was painful to look In less than a day, he was covered with scars From bashing his head and his bum on the bars
We gave him drugs, but they had no effect Built him a shelter which he quickly wrecked We thought him the saddest we ever did see Since Chow Chow the panda with epilepsy
Out in the Outback where Koalas climb We got a rare one once upon a time A danger to himself and other creatures, too We captured Joey, the Spastic Kangaroo.
We introduced Joey into a troop But he punched the others and sprayed them with poop Perhaps it was puberty? Repressed desire? So we tried to mate him with Agnes, the flyer
Agnes was ferile and ripe for a male She bit Joey’s nuts, and he started to wail They kicked and they thrashed and they clawed and they bled And when it was through, the two roos were both dead
Out in the Outback where the quokkas hop I saw a whirlwind I thought would never stop Tears did flow that morning at the zoo When we buried Joey, the Spastic Kangaroo
Agnes was kept on display in the lab Her body preserved and laid out on a slab Five weeks after that, her pouch gave a rip Then, out popped a baby we quickly named Skip.
We crossed all our fingers and hoped for the best `Cause Skippy looked normal at play and at rest But soon, we saw normal was not meant to be When Skippy the roo tried to drink his own pee
He’d stare at the sun and spend hours in a crouch He bit his own tail, and he punched his own pouch At first it was tempting to have him destroyed But we felt too sorry for this mongoloid
So out in the Outback we set Skippy free Soon as we did, he ran into a tree Moral of the story is tragic, but it’s true: There’s nothing you can do with a spastic kangaroo.

ENEMA BLUES
My baby went and left me She’s gone without a doubt But even worse than that, you know, She really cleaned me out
I got the enema blues Ever since we been apart You know she flushed out my whole life And now she’s trying to flush out my heart
You know that I was good to her I never treated her mean I even let her use my bathroom And now she’s flushed me clean
I got the enema blues Ever since we been apart You know she flushed out my whole life And now she’s trying to flush out my heart
She ran off with my bowling shoes My car, my house and my kid I told her, “Blow it out my ass!” And that’s exactly what she did
I got the enema blues Ever since we been apart You know she flushed out my whole life And now she’s trying to flush out my heart
