Poetry and Prose

Leslie E Claypool

I ain't one for poetry, ain't one for prose
Ain't one for the scent of a springtime rose
But there is one fact that I do know
I sure get a kick out of that Beavis and Butt-head show

Other day I turn my TV on, what is it I do see?
Two crazy-ass cartoon sons-a'-bitches staring on back at me
Said, "What the hell's this", and Lar said, "Boy, don't you know?"
The whole world's gone crazy over that there Beavis and Butt-head show

Talk about couch fishing, now I could go for that
I could go for frog baseball, but I'm inclined to use a cat!
On comedy, I'm a Stooges man. I like Larry, Curly and Moe
But now and then I get a chuckle watchin' the Beavis and Butt-head show

Stone Temple Pearlvana Chains, now there's a helluva band
They got that original sound that's been sweepin' across the land
They ain't no ZZ Top though, now that's the band for me
If I had my way MTV'd play just them and AC/DC

I ain't nothing special, I'm your average kinda man
I like a frosted barley pop and I drink 'em outta the can!
I don't give a rat's ass about poetry and not a damn about prose
I sure do get a kick outta them Beavis and Butt-head shows

Hey, Beavis
What?
I was just like, uh, thinking and stuff, it was pretty cool
Yeah, I'm gonna try that
TV is cool
Yeah, yeah, TV rules. It rules, yeah
Hey Beavis, I heard that pretty soon
They're gonna have, like, fine hundred channels, that's gonna be cool
Really? That would be cool
You know what would be really cool, though?
If like, one of the channels didn't suck
Yeah, but, like, if one of them didn't suck
Then why would you need the other, um, three hundred and twenty-seven?
Because, you know all those TV shows that suck?
It's like, you hafta put 'em somewhere, you can't put 'em on the cool channel
Yeah, yeah, they should call it the Cool Channel
