Beethoven Poem

There’s a hazy kind of light
Up in the mountains at this time of year
A man in a bunny suit stands
Before a burned out Cadillac
Beethoven is sitting next to a giant ant
In an open topped Cadillac
People are pouring fruit smoothies
Over a gorilla in a cage
And spray painting it different neon colours
The ant and Beethoven pull out their Uzi’s
And start spraying everything in sight
They spray the gorilla
They spray the guy in the bunny suit
The gorilla explodes inside the cage
Beethoven and the ant are crying
Beethoven wipes Beethoven’s eyes
Sad noises vibrate between Beethoven’s lips
The ant laughs a bit
And opens a bottle of beer
