A&A / by R. Mosquito.
A AND A (AND E AND SPUD)
asterisks and ampersands
conspire to occlude my speech
i try to say something about your mom, yeah
but all that comes out is mother *@%!ing #%&@ *@!#
my printed words are much the same
they tend to bend and distort
i go to write something on a bathroom wall
and all that comes out is octothorpes and so i'm blaming
A AND A (AND E AND SPUD)
but i won't let symbols control my words*
it's time to retaliate!
i won't use their proper names no more, heck no
henceforth i'll just say
A for asterisk!
A for ampersand!
octothorpes i'll just call spud.
the logarithmic escalation indicative of exclamation marks
is based on math well understood
and so we'll call them... e?
take it from me
you wouldn't like to be
crippled linguistically
it's not an impediment...
it's more like Broca's death.
speak my solemn goodbyes
to my favourite salient words
that i heard in the yard of the school
by the time i was three
i was an obscenity machine
now i'm grown and i know
i gotta come up with some words of my own
... and not rely on
A AND A (AND E AND SPUD)
but subtly monkeywrenching nomenclature's
only half my plan
i'm gonna make up some brand new swear words
only i will understand
like fizenfnord! your dogs a tikiloo!
your mother is a tikiloo too!
aphasia is for lozenbems --
don't be a lozenbem!
use my phrases thus avoiding
A AND A (AND E AND SPUD)
you know what to do, you tikiloos.
* for the snickering amusement of all you armchair semioticians.
